Habanero Peppers

[ChrisMcCracken]

I read somewhere that the hotness of peppers is often reflective of the environment they grow in. More humid environs grew hotter because the defense mechanism was more crucial to protect it there than in dry areas. Best restaurant hot sauce I ever had was a great mango habanero sauce in Virginia Beach. Loved it on oysters.

I had never heard that. In that case the peppers from here in the Mid-West should be pretty freakin hot with the high humidity summers.
