Hey everyone, I trust you had an incredible week? Mine was just peachy! Have you ever heard of #marketfriday with @dswigle? If not where on Earth have you been? Do head off here: https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@dswigle/market-friday-goes-net-zero#comments give her some love leave a comment and submission, of not why not?
What we have here are the 'benchmark' for heat. On the left a gorgeous Ghost Pepper hottest chilli on Earth around ten years ago and on the right a Carolina Reaper as of 2017 the Worlds hottest. We are now however in 2020 and I hear there is a hotter Chilli still, called Devils Breath a whopping 2.8 million Scoville!
The below Ghost pepper really peaked my interest. Ripe as can be inside a 'kidney' like green formation! No clue what it was, it looks like some sort of 'Zombie' Chilli' hybrid, but what I can tell you is this, I tasted it and it was as hot as hell too!
So I am in 'proverbial crunch' situation where I need to earn lots of money really fast, so aside from my chicken, egg and incubator business I got my head thinking hard, long and fast and came up with a sweet plan! Sell Chilli-Pepper Seeds, so that is exactly what I did...
I am so proud of myself I put up a facebook page check it out here :https://www.facebook.com/The-Chilli-Guru-108567760678952/?modal=admin_todo_tour
I recently got my first client online and he ordered from me, a fellow South African in Hermanus and so today I got his order together and sent them off, I am quiet sure he will be most impressed with his Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper seeds, most folks love those the best!
PRO TIP: When working with SUPERHOTS, ALWAYS wear gloves your fingers WILL go numb if not and were you to touch your eyes, crying for hours guaranteed! These Chilli's are so hot they literally burn your throat just breathing in the 'vapour' when working with them! Here the flesh of a Reaper and Ghost I will either give away or risk making some uber hot sauce with!
Naturally lablling these is a pretty good idea as to inform the client exactly which seeds are which! Myself I am a little less organized however, when purchasing seeds simply plant and when they fruit tell which species is which, far from the best way of doing things no doubt!
Myself and said client Noel are mates on a Chilli Page on Facebook aswell which is where we met. If we can't find the botanical name for a Chill we make one up as I have here! No clue what they are but large and delicious most certainly. The name you may ask? BAF LAF?? Big As F$#k Lovely AF :P
I harvested these all ripe about a week ago cut them open to dry, sorted them out, packaged labelled and sent off today! He is rather excited about new chilli's en-route which should arrive next week.
Which begs the last question! Are you A CHILLI FAN?
Trust you have an amazing weekend. Cheer$;)
