Very nice! In my younger days I was always looking for hot, hotter, and hottest foods. You've got the avenue to get there.....I finally have product!

And now the hunt begins for retailers to sell these!
I have a few sauces I make at home that I've often thought could be sold commercially.
Yeah I love spicy, habaneros are my favorite. These things are BRUTAL. But there's definitely a market for them.
Going market rate is $2.50 for the bag of ghosts (5) and $5.00 for the reapers, if you can believe that. That makes it worthwhile. Regular peppers like jalapenos or serranos run $2/lb retail but this works out to $100/lb based on pre-dried weight!
Yes, you should give it a shot with your sauces! - locally made is getting bigger. Even the big chains are getting in on it.
FANTASTIC!I finally have product!

We grow a few buckets of hots every year. I always take a few hundred reapers and dehydrate them and grind them up for powder. It works great for cooking.
What are they?I finally have product!

I guess I live in a different world. Packaging is great. Are they simply dried hot peppers or something covered with hot pepper batter.
Crazy question for those that know...but I don't know...probably because I never got into extremely spicy foods.
You might write on the package what its used for as we don't see that type of item in my parts.I finally have product!

Henro: yes, just dried hot peppers. They're what's called super-hots. Typical habanero is about 250,000 scoville, the ghost is 4x as hot and reaper is 6-7x. And thank you for the complement - I'm no graphic designer so I'm quite happy how they turned out!
JimmyJazz: Reality is that most people who would buy this would already know what to do with it, but that IS on the back of the label "suggested uses".
Obviously a niche product but it's a surprisingly large niche.

NOPE. nope.
Nope, nopey, nope, nope.
I sweat and cry like little girl with just Cayenne pepper.
Franks hot sauce is actually hot to me.
How you guys even shit this stuff out the next day is beyond me.

I remember years ago getting a quart of mildly hot peppers that were canned by a coworker. They were not really that hot, and were REALLY tasty...I probably ate half of them, they were that good.
Next morning I understood what PaulR is referring to!
Thinking about it, I guess in the aircraft world that would be referred to an an "after burner"...

Hey, I just sell it. Not for personal use
The most I've done with these is a little tasting so that I know what my product is. I like spicy but habanero is pretty much tops for me.

Good for you!
God's honest truth....40 years ago, I thought there should be a single-serve coffee product, kinda like tea-bag-type thing, or even something that funneled highly-heated water through a concentrate.......
In the '90's there was a short-lived coffee bag-thingy, and Keurig is everywhere now....
Missed my chance...maybe if George Foreman was advertising Invent-Help 30 years ago....

Thanks, I have more than I can keep up with right now!
Is that ghosts or red savina?
Those are ghost peppers my kid raised. I don't use them. I use cayennes, banana and bell peppers which are grown in the garden.
Per my kid, the seeds were 3 years old.
