I was looking for an acticle I read on cnn about a wild chile pepper
perserve in the southwest when i ran across this article:
http://www.cnn.com/2000/FOOD/news/10/16/chili.science.ap/index.html
The article is about inproving chile peppers after the problems with the
2000 season.
Any way it the article it says:
"Bosland picked out a purple jalapeno from the small sea of jalapeno
plants in the greenhouse.
'This purple trait, we have to get rid of that,' he said. 'People want
certain kinds of chilies. People just don't buy a jalapeno that's
purple. You want it green and that's just the way it is.' ... "
I think purpple jalapenos would be cool. That's way I grow diffrent
colored peppers.
Is the geneeral public so set on things that a purpple jalapeno would
not sell?
What do you chyilieheads think?
