[CH] Seeds from Dehydrator

First post from recent subscriber. I have been in the
process of picking and dehydrating several peppers
(Thai Hot, Pueblo, Turkish Cayenne, Long Red
Slims)from my garden to make pepper flakes and chile
powder. I have noticed that the seeds come out
perfectly dry and appear similar to the seeds I
purchased from pepperjoes.com and seeds that I have
let dry out in the sun. I figured if I could use
these there would be no reason to have to replenish my
stock in these particular varieties and could purchase
new types for next year, especially lemon pepper and
datils.
However, I became concerned that the exposure to heat
from the dehydrator for such a long time might damage
the seeds such that they would not germinate when
planted. I guess the best thing I could do would be
to plant a few and see if they come up, but if they
do, could there be a fruit production problem?
As an aside, I have been following the
Wasabi/Horseradish thread and wondered if anyone could
tell me what the Wasabi Sushi dip looks like. A
favorite Oriental restaurant in Louisville (Kim's
Asian Grill) uses a dip for their vegetable rolls that
I dream about. It has the color spicy mustard, but is
liquefied. Man is it good.
Thanks for the help.
