When I didn't know nothing the first Thai Dragons I ever ate were from a
farmers market. They were perfectly straight, about 8 inches long, and a
sweet as can be. I bought several pounds and as they had no heat I used
them as a salad pepper and to add color to pickle dishes and canned
jalapenos. I went back two or three weeks later and bought some more. On
the way home I took a big bite out of one of those things expecting it to
be sweet and danged near went apopoleptic. Wow. That was real Thai heat.
But I never had habs with no heat. Still yet, I wouldn't mow the crop
under just right now; if they stay sweet use them as heatless habs (Chile
Woman sells a heatless hab, but that's for people who intentionally want
them). My guess is you got a runt or two and the Bad Boys will come on strong.
