Well I once de seeded a chilli then went to ISC. Without scrubbing my hands first. The end result was burning sensation not just on the outside of my ladies parts, but all up the urethra. It teaches a very very important lesson.
l - now freeze chillies along with ginger - and use them straight from the freezer. Ginger grates easily frozen - l leave skin on - and the chillies are easy to split down the centre and remove the seeds whilst still frozen. The frozen chilli seeds will grow well if you pop them into a little pot of compost. l make loads of chilli jam. We are hooked on it.
