My friendly local beer seller came back from Bangladesh, so straight from the source these seeds are!!!!! Only one problem, mold, I just did a H202 soak and got maybe 20 viable seeds. Fingers and toes are crossed, I ate some of the dried pods OMG awesome heat and flavor.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Naga Morich!!!

You'll probably end up with more viable seeds then 20. The float/sink test isn't 100%. I plant all seeds......germination powder helps soften older stubborn seed hulls. The Naga Morich is one of my favorite chili's to dry and powder.

Good stuff, Maynard!
I just came home from 3 months in India and Nepal. I didn't make it up to Nagaland or over to Bangladesh, but I did collect seeds from 5 different pods I had not seen before. One of them I think is pretty common, but the other four I am thinking might be unique (at least to my collection).
I had a similar problem with mold (I was there during the monsoon), but I am hopeful since the seeds looked a lot more viable after a soaking in bleach. I guess we'll see in a couple weeks, since the first thing I wanted to do was get them in some soil.
PIC 1: I'm right there with you. I bought 4 oz. of the naga powder from Midwest Chileheads earlier this year, and it has been going into almost every spicy dish I make since...

Don't soak em in bleach!!! H202 becomes water after a few minutes, bleach is poison!
