@Priscabc
@Priscabc 4 місяці тому
I'm guessing "commercial" peppers are also bred to look nice so people actually want to eat them, but these guys are graded only for heat. It's probably for the better that people don't look at it and say "that looks nice, can I take a bite".
@phoenixelysia
@phoenixelysia 4 місяці тому
@@Priscabc this is absolutely a part of it. a LOT of fruit and vegetable farmers breed specifically for flavour and appearance, and the produce is judged accordingly. more than 30% of all produce does not hit store shelves as it fails to meet a predetermined appearance standard. Would you buy a lemon that's round, a cabbage that isn't spherical, or a strawberry that isn't strawberry shaped? These "abberant" fruits and veg get tossed or used in animal feed, where the appearance doesn't matter.

I believe he was 'surprised' with the award on the Hot Ones youtube channel and regardless of whether it was scripted for the drama I think it's pretty clear how much it means to him. Honestly it's pushing the boundary of annoyingly egotistical, but I'd rather someone care a little bit too much about what they do than not enough. The man has an obsession that's had a real impact on the food world and not many people can say that.

Chemical engineer here. So milk DOES help reducing the burning and the feeling because milk contains a molecule called casein that when in contact with capsaicin it sorrounds it and enclosed it in a complex molecule deactivating its burning function, it works kinda like the soap washes away grease. Sorry, english is not my first language.

@notforwantoftrying1
@notforwantoftrying1 4 місяці тому
It's partly because it is a different sub-species of pepper. All of the milder peppers (bell peppers, jalapenos, serranos, birds eye chillis etc.) are botanically considered capsicum annuum. Habanero and all other super-hots are a different sub-species called capsicum chinense and have a unique flavor (often referred to as "chinense flavor") and MUCH higher scoville rating.
@williamwolf2844
@williamwolf2844 4 дні тому
This is true for me. And even with an habanero, I cannot use an entire pepper, not even a small one, in a meal. In fact, much less than that. Maybe something less than half the size of my pinky finger covered by the fingernail. A very small amount. More than that I can tolerate, but it doesn't make the food taste better.

Ed's a recovering addict and I believe he's credited peppers with helping him get clean. As he describes it like a runner's high, it has replaced his need for a drug high. So, he might literally be addicted to the pepper high, chasing a higher and higher high, which led him to breed them. Dude's an inspiration for people getting clean.

I am a huge fan and I have a question. Are you ever going to start selling seeds for Pepper X? I have been growing Reapers for a while and I would love to try to grow pepper X. I realise that it might be a while as it's a trade secret but I'd really like to try them.

Interesting that he had capsicum (or "bell pepper" for Muricans) on display. It's clearly in the pepper family, but has none of the spice the rest of them do :P Although I hear you can use them to make paprika, which is a sweet spice of sorts, big fave. Appreciate the guy's cockiness in his pepper x, dude's really daring others to try to top that and I respect the hustle haha.

Vinegar also helps stop the “burn”. Works for crawfish seasoning under the fingernails and pepper spray too. Source: Dad called poison control, I laughed.
