Someone told them to give us a 1/2 teaspoon or so of cayan pepper powder instead.  Think that's where i grew my fondness for cayan, jalapeno, etc. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Yep, i've noticed this with Serrano peppers.  I'll nibble them as i chop them up to toss in whatever dish, usually chili or taco soup, and they do seem hotter after they've cooked.</blockquote>
