Scott's "Botanical Link of the Day" has a site that may interest
chile-heads subscribers. Note this is Scoville units, not the scale devised
by the folks who own Redwood City Seeds. They apparently have different
pricing on the web than on the flyers they send to customers, too. The
flyer said chocolate hab seeds were $10. Margaret Lauterbach

>This "Chili Pepper Official Heat Scale" compares the different chili

>standard for capsaicin, the chemical which creates most of the
>chemical "heat." A memorable one-page site, it is worth a bookmark if
