 Home made batch. Spicy 🌶️ level 9/10 

Only for the brave and insane. I barely touched it and put finger on my tongue and I’m sweating 🥵 

I’m not even sure what’s in it … usually yuzu, chili peppers and salt, but this one seems to have something else that makes it insanely spicy. Store brands don’t even come close. https://i.nostr.build/rhpXA0IuNrRIc4tS.jpg  
 Home made batch of ____ ? Home made by you? But you don’t what’s in it?
Haha. I’m so confused, yet extremely intrigued. It’s hard to get very spicy local stuff.
Although my favorite local 焼き鳥屋さん has a mean 青唐味噌 that’s great with cucumber and in their おにぎり. I remember one batch being so strong I nearly vomited haha

Home made by someone else 😆 
 Ah gotcha!柚子胡椒! coooool. I love that stuff. Interested to know how that particular homemade one tastes… 
Tempted to try make my own now 
 Much spicier than store stuff 
 You will be holding your buttcheeks soon 
 Nah I’m too afraid to touch it again 
 I wouldn’t do it. 🫂 
 Only from my own experience-

How how chilis are watered (especially the week or two before picking) has a significant effect on total capsaicin.
Commercial growers tend to water enough to produce larger fruit at the cost of lower capsaicin.
