What does the list think about the following?
Sounds like yet another urban myth to me.
"Did you know?

chilli.
The broader, lighter leaf tends to characterize the milder
varieties."
Just went out and picked a dark leaf and a light leaf, both tasted
rather Bland, although the light one tasted blander.
When my mother was Spinning and Weaving many years ago we visited a
Small Sheep Farm where the Owner German Agronomist was Feeding His Sheep
trace Elements and Changing the Colour of Wool on their Backs, didn't
notice any difference in the taste of the Lamb Chops between the Light
Fleeced Sheep and their Darker Coloured fleece brothers and sisters.
So consider this reply a Debunk..
