I am no doubt certain that the reason for heatless chillies is so that the flavour can go into food products without having to worry about them being too hot... But you'd think they'd learn something about peppers and that there are some brilliant chillis that can be used in food without hurting anyone. And who'm I kidding... I'm preaching to the choir here. ===== Tina Brooks VP Marketing, Peppermaster Hot Sauces <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.peppermaster.com">www.peppermaster.com </a>Brooks Pepperfire Foods Inc. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.pepperfire.ca">www.pepperfire.ca</a> Phone: (514) 393-3430 26 St. Jean Baptiste, East Rigaud, Quebec, Canada J0P 1P0 Network with me on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gourmetbusinessforum.com/">www.gourmetbusinessforum.com</a> -- The premier online business community for food professionals <em><font color="#ff0000">Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness.

They'd taste better and would probably do more for our local farmers. That's why the heatless habanero and heatless jalapeņo were developed. So they could add the flavour and control the heat levels to a uniform heat with extract. And here y'all thought it was a dirty commie plot! -- ENJOY!!!
