They're a little tricky to seed, they tend to mush too. Probably why they don't sell these in the stores, they're not very durable peppers.

I use alcohol or mineral oil to remove the capsaicin, or if you have mechanic's soap. Regular soap just doesn't do a great job at removing it.

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:11-13

Yes, we can be content in all things! There is always something to be thankful for (like the peppers). I appreciate the scripture you shared. We can do all things through the one who died for us and lives for us: Christ, who strengthens us when we turn to him. It only takes a thought directed toward him to receive strength.

That's interesting that you learned ways to remove the hot chemical from the peppers so you can safely extract seeds.

I mean to get it off your hands afterwards.

Oh, now that is clear to me.... You have a method to wash the hot chemical off your skin. Yeah, regular soap did not work for me. I still had peoper pepper hands. My solution was to buy cheap, plastic disposable gloves and wear them when removing seeds from a large quantity of peppers.
