Chili Pepper News — chili seeds

You’ve probably seen it time and again. Recipes that call for fresh chilies usually direct you to remove the seeds. Why? For some reason, a lot of people are under the impression that a chili’s heat derives from its seeds. It’s hogwash. But, there seem to be a lot of these individuals. Many of them are chefs (or, at least, their cookbook recipe writers). This level of deception continues to mislead the home cook.
