That's an awesome picture. I can just feel the capsaicin from here.

  Oh yea, I don't disagree, it probably doesn't serve much of a practical purpose - the article says it will help the extraction industry (companies that extract capsaicin for medical purposes) but I'd bet that until these superhots are grown on a seriously massive scale, habaneros probably...

I thought you all might find this article interesting: http://newscenter.nmsu.edu/Articles/view/11668/nmsu-researchers-investigate-how-super-hot-peppers-pack-their-powerful-punch   TL;DR version: In most chile plants, the capsaicinoid vesicles are only located on the placenta, but in superhots...

Congratulations everyone! I'm stoked to be listed alongside so many great companies  :woohoo:

I think a pepper of the month club is a great idea. I run one of the monthly hot sauce clubs, and I'd recommend you check out Cratejoy, a website and billing provider that is designed to handle these clubs. For two years, I did everything manually on a spreadsheet and switching to Cratejoy was...

SFRB will still be your cheapest bet 99% of the time. The only circumstance that you will get a cheaper rate without Flat Rate is when shipping to Zones 1 & 2 (meaning local to where you are - you can calculate zones based on zip code here: https://postcalc.usps.com/zonecharts/),in which case a...

An old widower living alone in the country wanted to plant his pepper garden, but the ground was too hard and he was too old to do the work. His only son who use to help him was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation.   Dear Vincent, I've been very depressed...

Yea, these SHUs are meaningless. For the Get Bitten, it's made with 6 million SHU extract, that isn't the final SHU of the sauce. And for The Second Dimension, the whole thing about 40 pounds of ghosts per batch is not useful information unless we know how big the batch is. But hey, this sort of...

My 2 cents: I definitely like the off kilter look. It keeps there from being too many straight lines on top of each other. And I think I'd go for oval, but I'm less sure on that point. 

Reminds me of this article which repeatedly calls the Carolina Reaper the 'California Reaper', despite the very video they're writing about using the correct term. People tell them in the comments and they still haven't fixed it  :doh:

1 - I've never pallet pricing on 60 cases. I've seen companies offer pallet pricing on quantities of 100 (most common), 150, 165, and 200 cases, it varies a lot depending on the company.    2 - I wouldn't assume you're giving them free shipping to their warehouse off the bat. I'd suggest giving...

I made a Spicy Foghorn, with Bombay Sapphire East (which has added black peppercorns and lemongrass) and Bundaberg Ginger Beer (by far my favorite ginger beer, made in Australia). I infused 2 shots of the gin with some home grown Trinidad Perfumes (seeds from Pepper Lover), and I infused another...

I'm planning on growing Siling Labuyo, a small frutescens from the Philipines. I got them as my annual seed packet from the Chile Pepper Institute a few years ago, but I keep dropping the ball and not remembering to germinate them  :banghead:. 

What Juanitos said, and also Regional Flat Rate A boxes are great for short distance shipping, or as a slightly smaller, slightly cheaper alternative to Medium Flat Rate Boxes when shipping longer distances. But in terms of my site's shipping rates, I just subsidize the prices and take the loss...

I was re-selling a variety of hot sauces, and I was shipping them myself (rather than sending them to an Amazon warehouse for distribution). It wasn't worth it to me, since my own website is doing well. But if I ever move to a larger warehouse, I'd reconsider because there wouldn't be the...

I've sold a fair amount on amazon, but I haven't done FBA (Fulfilled By Amazon). I hated it doing it though, because I was charging a higher price, but making less money. I figured I could offer customers a better price when selling direct, so I stopped doing Amazon.    The thing about amazon...

  Thanks for the order, Idiot Piquant!   In terms of freebies, the notes did indeed go through, so you're all good. Those mini harissa tubes are awesome!   Now I'm off to pack orders - everything should be shipping out on Monday  :dance:
