I was under the impression that fresh peppers had the highest weight/Vit.
C ratio of any veggie or fruit.  The stuff was discovered in a pepper,
after all.

Um, I think they are supposed to be relatively heatless.  but Jim Campbell
The Oneth included a few in a flat I got from him last year.   I've grown
them several seasons and was happy to put them in the garden where I pick
them while i wirk (WIRK?) for snacks,...

But the ones JCTO gave me were, um, a bit spicy.  I took a big gnaw out of
the first one and had to spit it out because I was unprepared for the
heat.   They were standard jalapeno hot.  I can eat that stuff but i want
some warnings first so I don't inhale while it's going down--makes me
throat sieze up.

I have no idea why those were hot bcause the ones in my yard were barely
detectable, if at all.
