The Chilli Page
Welcome to my chilli page. People used to tell me that eating chilli was bad for you. We now know that they have heaps of Vitamin C, beta carotene and they raise the metabolic rate and they also taste great with just about anything.
Okay, I have been holding off, but today I finally added a page dedicated to Chillis... I think on this Australia Day Weekend it is the right thing to do. Today I purchased an Orange Habeneros to add to my collection of Red Savina Habeneros along with a Thai chilli called rat-droppings chilli or "prik ku nih" in Thai. Additionally I purchased another plant that has black habeneros style chilli and also has variagated leaves.
A great site that describes the good things about Chillis (they call them Chile) is http://www.peppermania.com/index.html (This guy is a professional)
