What do the peppers look like? 7 Pot Brain Strain Peppers are large-sized peppers with a bright red appearance. They commonly feature evil-looking bumps on the outside. The placenta which surrounds the seeds is very fleshy and encompasses a large portion of the inside of the pepper. The most pungent (spiciest) part of the pepper is in the inside placenta portion of the peppers, especially around the seeds. We highly recommend you have a milk product containing casein handy nearby and only try a small amount of the pepper flakes to get a feel for how hot it is. Casein in milk products acts as a detergent to help wash away the capsaicin in the peppers and ease the pain. Water will not help and acts only to spread the capsaicin.  Growing Season: Late February - Early November.  Nutritional Value: Chile peppers contain a high amount of vitamin C. Almost twice the number of citrus fruits.
