Anyone here ever grow Dundicuts?

I saw these at a local spice market :eek:

& couldn't resist picking some up. From Pakistan. I tried one & they are definitely not as hot as say a Hab but they are still hot enough for me to use in dishes as I put Tabasco, Texas Pete Hotter hot sauce, Valentina Picante, etc... on many of the foods I eat. Wiki says they're 55K- 65K S.U. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dundicut
If I can free up another pot, I'm using @ 15 right now :oops:

, I might see if I can grow some. The seeds are probably viable but who knows. I've grown a couple of super hots but I can't see using them in everyday cooking so these I would be able to use regularly like my Jalapeno or Thai plants.

i did try the powder many years ago before i had a tolerance and it was one of the hottest i had at that point

we used the rest of the powder to keep the squirrels out of the bird feed :lol:

i do dislike squirrels :flamethrower:

if they didn't use too much heat to dry them they might germinate

thanks your friend Joe

Thanks Joe. I ate my 2nd one and it didn't seem overly hot. There's many people here w/ a much higher heat-tolerance than me though. They're about as big @ as an American dime ($.10)

They're a little over 2X as hot as a jalapeno IMO.

They're not very high on my list because I have two different varieties of thai plants which i frequently use in cooking, two jalapeno plants, and 5 piquin seedlings that just sprouted :woohoo:

. I prolly will as I have a few plants that seem to have ran out of steam because of the change of the seasons perhaps. they've gone dormant so I may free up a pot or two for new growing.
