| | Thai chili pepper taste, cooking, and preparation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | This is one of those pepper that, if you are an average human being, can send you sky-high and straight to the nearest pitcher of water if you bite right into it (don't expect much help from the water, though, as you'll see a bit later). |
 | | On this scale the bell pepper sits at zero Scoville heat units, the jalapeño rates 4,000, the Thai dragon around 80,000 to 100,000 and the habañeros at between 300,000 and 550,000. |
 | | The pepper is soaked and the seeds are removed to remove some of the heat (Most of the heat is in the internal membranes of a pepper, and the seeds to a lesser extent). |
