Welcome to people new to my channel! Check out my other videos where I share my passion for chillies! Don't forget to give the video a like 👍 if there was even one fact you didn't know! A couple corrections: 1. Beta Carotene converts to vitamin A, not D. I misspoke. 2. With the fact about bell pepper colours. Trying to crunch down the time in the video, and I could have worded it a bit better! Green bell peppers are unripe...and you get Yellow and Red varieties of bell peppers. I still think the red bells taste best though 😉
@ChilliChump If I may give my 2c,in my experience,if you want to taste the flavor of the chilli with out the heat,just eat the tip of the chilli...and also what I have found on growing jalapeños is that the more "stretch marks or stress marks" they have the hotter they are...
I love Chili, I eat it pretty much every day. My favorite is the chili grown in Hatch New Mexico... Do you have a tutorial for growing chili in super hot climates?? I live in the desert of Arizona (Yuma) and we have tons of sunshine it also gets very hot in the summer up to 115F and hotter our winters are much milder with the ave. daily temp between 70-80F with the lows ranging from mid 30s to 40-50F... I would love to try my hand at growing my own chili here but I don't have a clue how to get started or if it's even possible here. If you could point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated........Many thanks!!
Yes, please make a video on how chillis are good, in the ways as you said here. We should all learn to take care of ourselves, which may involve learning some details. You're the detail guy on chillis. Thanks. Gonna sub now.
Yes please. I've read studies that say that eating chili reduces the chance of premature death by 23% and heart attack and stroke by 40%. Today I watched korean video that said korean people eat hot food to reduce stress and anxiety.
I am addicted to growing chili plants!! Drove past a house where they dumped all their kitchen stuff for the trash and found bags of dried chilis of various varieties. Of course was not about to eat them or use them in any way for ingesting, BUT the seeds!!!!!!!! Made me so happy! Now I have a thriving garden!
My wife and I would love to see a video about the health benefits of chilies. Also it would be amazing if you could convince Doctor Mike or any other doctor to do a collaboration.
I know a lot about chilli's but I still learned a lot more. I like things spicy but not so spicy its miserable. I like a bit of eyes watering and nose drip. I also enjoy the natural euphoria from eating spicy foods.
An interesting video, thanks Chilli Chump. I live in New Zealand and grow my chillies each year, and they last for about a year too, be they frozen, dried, or pickled. I grow Jalapenos, Hungarian Hot Wax (very good pickled), Cayenne, and Chilli Fire for curries etc. I even smoked some Jelapenos last year and made a hot sauce. And boy was it hot! Because the smoking process had made them lose 50% moisture, the sauce was twice as strong. Anyway, thanks for the video, Sir.
I'd like to see a second list myself. A lot of chilis have different names depending on how they're treated, for example. A Jalapeno is fresh but smoke the red ripe chilis until dried and it's called Chipotle. It helps to know when you see something in a recipe but can't find it in the supermarket. Look online, see if that's a dried or pickled variety under a different name.
In my country eating Chiles is a part of our daily diet. The most favorite one is called Madame Jeanette, a very aromatic one and even people who don't like the burn use it (without breaking it) to spice their food with the aromatic flavour.
@@ChilliChump Those are the best of the best. Even people that don't like the sting, love the arma; when you cook, the whole house smells and everyone is suddenly hungry.
Thanks for the video. I grew up in SA and it is always great to hear that accent. I cook a lot of curries and chilli and gumbo here in USA. Can't live without chilies.
i love the history told about the word "pepper" being used in place of chili, that peppercorns were used as a currency is phenomenal, growing literal money trees.
Thank you! I was just thinking about the peppers (chilis) in my backyard and the confusing nomenclature in English. As a native German I find it confusing that in English, Peppers are called like Pepper- while they have little to do with each other. Peppers, or Paprika, are a source of joy each day in the summer when I go outside and grab some Jalapenos, bell peppers, chile de arbol, Anaheim, Serrano, lunch box peppers, and/or some hybrid volunteers that are viciously spicy to mix into my scrambled eggs for breakfast. I believe they keep me alive. Cheers!
I found applying Vaseline to certain parts of your anatomy made my chilli Friday a more pleasant Saturday and would recommend it, especially to thrill seekers
This was a fantastic video and so much fun to watch. You had me laughing at several points in this video. I think you taking a bite of the chili on fact #9 was the equivalent to a "mic drop". I loved every minute of this Shaun and I certainly learned a few things. Thanks once again for putting in all the time and energy into your passion. It has infected your audience and we are all now "super chili geeks". Thank you brother! Stay Spicy! v/r Shane
Sorry for multiple comments. It was a great video. I felt like I had a comment for each fact and I should have waited till the end to post lol. Keep up the great work. I must get around to posting new pics of my plants, even though it's late winter here. Still got fruit growing :)
It's no problem at all mate! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. As for your comment about correcting "chilli", change your phone's language to UK English 😉
My knowledge about chilis has grown exponentially since watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I recommend your channel to everyone I know who likes chilis. Burn on!
Yes! A video dedicated to health benefits would be great. I’ve done some research and it seems yellow bells have the most vitamin C, while red bells have the most vitamin A. I find this very interesting and wonder why. I’m also interested in how much vitamin C or A is found in various types of chilies. Thanks for the great video!
Great video thanks for sharing just had this video show up in my list. very interesting facts … yes please do more on the health benefits 👍 looking forward to seeing more videos … cheers 🍻
In my homeland, Panama, we use the word "Aji" instead of chili/lli, regardless of whether they are sweet or spicy, even we name the "green/yellow/red peppers": "pimientos or pimentones" follow by the color you want (Verde/Amarillo/Rojo), the root of these 2 words refer to the peppercorn (Pimienta)
Great video my jalapeños are turning red ion my first plant,can't wait to pick first one,going to get a greenhouse next year,thanks Shaun for your great channel 👍👍🌶🌶🌶🌶
In my part of Canada, we've turned the word pepper into the term for all capsicums. Pepper for all (but usually sweet), and hot peppers to specify spicy ones. Black pepper is refered to as such, or also simply as pepper. Context is more than enough to differentiate the two
Ditto on yes for the health benfits...I did know you could build up a tolerance to capsaicin, but dis not know it goes away so fast. I guess this is why Johnnie Scoville eat super hots everyday. That guy is nuts!
The only way that would have worked is if he added an LB starter to it. So either that didn't successfully ferment...or he created a starter like I show in a few of my videos. As much as lactobacillus can survive a short period of time at a relatively high heat (around 75'C)....roasting them requires much higher temperatures.
That tenth fact was quite interesting, I always figured you can build up a spice tolerance over time. Bellow a certain threshold, I don’t even notice if food is spicy any more.
Love the channel, thanks for all the information. I would like you to prove or disprove what I’ve been told about the heat level of any given chili as related to when it’s picked, for example, I’ve eaten Jalapeños that have been watered daily and they are mild. Take that same plant, avoid watering for a week prior to picking and you make it mad, the chilies will make you pay. Conversely, I’ve had normally mild Big Jim, basically Anaheim chilies, become as hot or hotter than a Jalapeño by starving them of water. This experiment was performed in Arizona, USA, with an average humidity level of 12%. Very dry conditions. I think this might become a topic that many will enjoy.
Hi I have just found your channel, just started growing my own. My plant has many chillies on it some are red some green but they all vary in different sizes. Don't want to harvest yet though because they look so pretty!
Good Video. BTW -In the SW US (green chile capitol of the world) - it is spelled Chile. Chili is a Texas dish/stew eaten all over the US. Chilli is rarely used but it implies a Mexican version of chili - and it may have beans. Chilly just means cold. I wouldn't make a big deal about it except "chile" in the SW US is a deep part of the culture - especially in New Mexico. The traditional foods in this part of the country are a fusion of Mexican, Native American, and early American. It's not really Mexican food - although its called that.
@@BrendanAndThings I struggled through that part also. The bell peppers I've been growing for years have only turned one colour after starting green. Green to yellow then end of story, green to red and thats it.
Awesome video Shaun! A great fact filled fun version of peppers in general. You always have a way of bringing something new and exciting to your brand and channel. A Big Yes as to a health benefit follow up video when your time allows the insight to develop on this one. A point I would be very interested in is the additional health benefits during the "off season" of dried chilis, or chillis, sun dried vs low temperature dried vs vine dried where the seasons may be long enough. Maybe a later season companion video to the Reaper heat beater varieties too. As I recall from a video not so long ago, maybe have a light meal before you go in for a super hot? Thank you for this wonderful way to enjoy a cup of Sunday morning coffee! -Bob...
Thanks Bob! It was a fun video to make. I realise that many of my viewers would know quite a few of these facts already, but as always I am trying to open up the world of chillies to everyone! And yeah, before having a superhot, it is best to eat a meal or something to help "line" your stomach, and prepare it for whats about to come! Although in my experience, you still feel the pain!
Thanks for the video! I would love to see a full video on the health benefits of capsaicin. If you could include your sources that would be even better!
It would be great for you to make a more indepth video on the health benefits of chillis.Ive been reading alot of peer reviewed medical papers.The benefits are mind blowing.Having lived in Asia for a number of years.The benefits became clear very quickly.That was a great fun video keep it up and as always stay spicy.Off to my happy place now to play with my chilli plants to see how my crosses have gone fingers 🤞.
In the US, individual plants and their fruits are typically designated as "chiles", while the spice mixture used to flavor the soup or stew of the same name (i.e. chili con carne) is usually referred to as "chili" - containing chiles, as well as herbs and spices such as cumin, garlic, oregano, etc. The exception in this country is the word "chilli" - which is what the folks in Springfield, Illinois call their dish. Historically this is a city where local restaurants serve their own unique version - officially designated the state dish. Just my $0.02 worth.
Great to have found your channel. I love peppers, I love hot, I mean I LOVE HOT! I recently tried my hand at growing Carolina Reapers (I purchased my seeds directly from Pucker Butt) in my backyard, but just didn't have enough sun due to overhead trees. A good friend now grows them for me in her grow tunnels and they come out fantastic. I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more great videos!
Hello, thank you for your video, very interesting. Question : are dryed chilies as healthy as fresh ones ? Seems to me it has less vitamines, right ? Oh and no, yellow, red and green peppers are not the same plants. Red, orange, and violet (oda and others) and yellow are different plants, and the green ones are the unripe ones of those. Yellow ones do not become red ones.
I was so interested to be pointed to the fact that Asian countries did not have chillis first - especially India ! According to what I just looked up, the Portuguese took chilli to southern India from South America! I love to learn something knew like this.
Do you grow Hatch chilis? They are a regional favorite here in Northern New Mexico, Southern Colorado. They can be mild to quite hot, with a very delicious, complex flavor. I think they are usually picked green and roasted, but you can get red sometimes. The skins can be thick..but a vitamix takes care of that if you dont want to skin them all. Usually people make a sauce and cook pork or chicken in it. It's called "chile". No beans!
They are also addictive. I eat quite a few everyday with lunch and dinner and if I don’t have I really feel like I’m missing some of that dopamine hit I get from them. I am busy growing some now. The bushes have started to flower so hopefully soon ill have my home grown supply.
Welcome to my channel Mike. You are in luck, I have plenty of sauce videos with plenty of my different chillies! ChilliChump Makes Hot Sauce: th-cam.com/play/PLuQ_ySnkV1emnrUiann1se5l06Ze3gIF6.html
Fact 11: Cumari chili, (baccatum, I suppose) is wild, very small and widely occurring in large parts of Brazil. They are also sold green, even though the taste, aroma and even the aspect is nicer when it is red and ripe. But the reason is surprising! The fruit in this plant don't ripen all at once. Only a few of them turn red per day. So if you want to crop them ripe, you will have to pick just the red few, everyday, for many days... And it really has to be picked everyday. Or else the birds do. (they are nicknamed bird pepper). So growers don't wait, they just crop them all green in one day. thats it!
Interesting about the health benefits, would love to hear more, also I love Rocoto , unfortunately it's just a bit too hot on the sunshine coast they don't make it through the summer
I love your videos! I’d love to see a video of you doing some experiments with chillis and/or sauces! I feel like you have unique access to fresh super hots and it would be cool to see some experiments with them!
Great video. I occasionally make my own chili sauce with a good selection of chilis including my favourite type, the Habanero chili. They may not be as hot as e.g. Naga Jolokia, etc., but I love their aroma. This exquisite fragrance when cutting one open at the top and enjoying the nice aroma. I'll check out more of your videos.
Hi Shaun, I am so glad I found your Video, attracted by the obvious South African accent. I left the UK to live there for 6 years and loved it. Directly relating to that I remember the Portuguese Restaurants in Jo'burg and the selling of Real Raw Tiger Prawns from Mozambique, which nobody sells in the UK, the ones they sell here as Tigers are TINY, I remember some that were between 9 and 12 inches long (my memory might have slightly exaggerated that a tiny bit, but 2 of them was a big meal. The other thing I loved was Portuguese Bread with Tiger Prawn and Potato Soup, with Chilli added, using the shells of the prawns to add massive flavour to the meal....I apologise for Rambling. Two Questions. Is Peri-Peri or even Piri-Piri = Scotch Bonnet ? and Two what is a Naga Curry that is sold in the UK as in what Chilli is it actually use? Great Luck with this Channel, subscribed without question. 🙂
Welcome to my channel! Piri Piri is certainly not scotch bonnet! They are African birds eye chillies. And Naga curry I would assume would have the Naga Jolokia chilli
Thanks for the video! 🌶️ I am preparing for my first chili plantation! I am very eager to begin. How many fruits can I expect from one plant if I'm successful? I'm considering three different types of chilli's, Lombardo, Erotica and Red Demon. I also consider to have two of each type. Wish me luck!
The amount of fruit per plant depends on so many factors! But all going well, you can expect a good harvest of a few pounds of fruit per plant! Have a great season!
Welcome to people new to my channel! Check out my other videos where I share my passion for chillies!
Don't forget to give the video a like 👍 if there was even one fact you didn't know!

I'd love to see a video about the health benefits. With supporting studies/peer reviewed articles cited. Keep up the good work!
+1
and how much us healthy? 1kg a day ?
Yes, how much chili-pain is enough to be healthy? Please take your time to prepare a well documented video
Amazing how people are willing to endure pain to be healthy 😂😂
Yes please. I've read studies that say that eating chili reduces the chance of premature death by 23% and heart attack and stroke by 40%. Today I watched korean video that said korean people eat hot food to reduce stress and anxiety.

Love hearing the SA accent on TH-cam! Also I definitely learned a few things, thanks!
My wife and I would love to see a video about the health benefits of chilies. Also it would be amazing if you could convince Doctor Mike or any other doctor to do a collaboration.
I grew 20 hot pepper plants this year! Some are lighter green than others. They all are loaded with green fruit not ripe yet but most are super hots!!
Thanks, Cchump, very informative, great chili eater myself, make my own paste for salads.
I know a lot about chilli's but I still learned a lot more. I like things spicy but not so spicy its miserable. I like a bit of eyes watering and nose drip. I also enjoy the natural euphoria from eating spicy foods.

Yes. Another one is dried poplano chilies being called 'Ancho chilies'. I use them a lot when making southwestern spice blends.
Great video Sean, which certainly taught me a few things about chilis.
And yes, a video about the health benefits would be welcome.
In my country eating Chiles is a part of our daily diet. The most favorite one is called Madame Jeanette, a very aromatic one and even people who don't like the burn use it (without breaking it) to spice their food with the aromatic flavour.
I'm growing some Madame Jeanette plants this year!
@@ChilliChump Those are the best of the best. Even people that don't like the sting, love the arma; when you cook, the whole house smells and everyone is suddenly hungry.
Fascinating ! Very pleased to hear that chilli's can help with acid reflux, rather than cause it !
Your videos have been always informative and helpful
I didn't realize the desensitization disappeared that quickly! Awesome video, thank you!

Roasting will kill the lactobacillus unfortunately

In the US, individual plants and their fruits are typically designated as "chiles", while the spice mixture used to flavor the soup or stew of the same name (i.e. chili con carne) is usually referred to as "chili" - containing chiles, as well as herbs and spices such as cumin, garlic, oregano, etc. The exception in this country is the word "chilli" - which is what the folks in Springfield, Illinois call their dish. Historically this is a city where local restaurants serve their own unique version - officially designated the state dish. Just my $0.02 worth.
Great to have found your channel. I love peppers, I love hot, I mean I LOVE HOT! I recently tried my hand at growing Carolina Reapers (I purchased my seeds directly from Pucker Butt) in my backyard, but just didn't have enough sun due to overhead trees. A good friend now grows them for me in her grow tunnels and they come out fantastic. I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more great videos!
Welcome to my channel! I'm glad you found it!
Hello, thank you for your video, very interesting. Question : are dryed chilies as healthy as fresh ones ? Seems to me it has less vitamines, right ?
Oh and no, yellow, red and green peppers are not the same plants. Red, orange, and violet (oda and others) and yellow are different plants, and the green ones are the unripe ones of those. Yellow ones do not become red ones.
I was so interested to be pointed to the fact that Asian countries did not have chillis first - especially India ! According to what I just looked up, the Portuguese took chilli to southern India from South America!
I love to learn something knew like this.
fascinating stuff! Thank you for that. I'd love to see a health benefits video. Food, and chilli especially can be pretty interesting.
Great video thanks! I would love to see more videos about anything to do with chillies!
Do you grow Hatch chilis? They are a regional favorite here in Northern New Mexico, Southern Colorado. They can be mild to quite hot, with a very delicious, complex flavor. I think they are usually picked green and roasted, but you can get red sometimes. The skins can be thick..but a vitamix takes care of that if you dont want to skin them all. Usually people make a sauce and cook pork or chicken in it. It's called "chile". No beans!
Yes, I'm growing them this year
I love chillies so so much I eat them every day and with every meal. Thank you for your video it was pleasure to watch.
They are also addictive. I eat quite a few everyday with lunch and dinner and if I don’t have I really feel like I’m missing some of that dopamine hit I get from them. I am busy growing some now. The bushes have started to flower so hopefully soon ill have my home grown supply.
Great resource. Very informative.Thanks.
Glad I found your channel. I'm hoping you have some content on making hot sauce from different varieties of chili's.
Welcome to my channel Mike. You are in luck, I have plenty of sauce videos with plenty of my different chillies!

Love all your amazing knowledge. Thank you.
Fact 11: Cumari chili, (baccatum, I suppose) is wild, very small and widely occurring in large parts of Brazil. They are also sold green, even though the taste, aroma and even the aspect is nicer when it is red and ripe. But the reason is surprising! The fruit in this plant don't ripen all at once. Only a few of them turn red per day. So if you want to crop them ripe, you will have to pick just the red few, everyday, for many days... And it really has to be picked everyday. Or else the birds do. (they are nicknamed bird pepper). So growers don't wait, they just crop them all green in one day. thats it!
Was today years old when I discovered the proper way of spelling 'chilli' in English. Thanks for that.
Interesting about the health benefits, would love to hear more, also I love Rocoto , unfortunately it's just a bit too hot on the sunshine coast they don't make it through the summer
I love your videos! I’d love to see a video of you doing some experiments with chillis and/or sauces! I feel like you have unique access to fresh super hots and it would be cool to see some experiments with them!
Hey Casey, I do loads of experiments with chilli growing, sauce making etc! Even more will be coming now that I have more space!
Video on health benefits of chillies would be very interesting. I've read about them having lots of vitamins but that's all.
Great Information! Thank you! 👌
Great video. I occasionally make my own chili sauce with a good selection of chilis including my favourite type, the Habanero chili. They may not be as hot as e.g. Naga Jolokia, etc., but I love their aroma. This exquisite fragrance when cutting one open at the top and enjoying the nice aroma. I'll check out more of your videos.
Hi Shaun, I am so glad I found your Video, attracted by the obvious South African accent. I left the UK to live there for 6 years and loved it.
Directly relating to that I remember the Portuguese Restaurants in Jo'burg and the selling of Real Raw Tiger Prawns from Mozambique, which nobody sells in the UK, the ones they sell here as Tigers are TINY, I remember some that were between 9 and 12 inches long (my memory might have slightly exaggerated that a tiny bit, but 2 of them was a big meal. The other thing I loved was Portuguese Bread with Tiger Prawn and Potato Soup, with Chilli added, using the shells of the prawns to add massive flavour to the meal....I apologise for Rambling.
Two Questions. Is Peri-Peri or even Piri-Piri = Scotch Bonnet ? and Two what is a Naga Curry that is sold in the UK as in what Chilli is it actually use?
Great Luck with this Channel, subscribed without question. 🙂
Welcome to my channel!
Piri Piri is certainly not scotch bonnet! They are African birds eye chillies.
And Naga curry I would assume would have the Naga Jolokia chilli
@@ChilliChump Thanks for the reply, and carry on the excellent work !!
This was great. You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you
What a great episode!
Thanks Henk!
Thanks for the video! 🌶️
I am preparing for my first chili plantation! I am very eager to begin. How many fruits can I expect from one plant if I'm successful?
I'm considering three different types of chilli's, Lombardo, Erotica and Red Demon. I also consider to have two of each type.
Wish me luck!
The amount of fruit per plant depends on so many factors! But all going well, you can expect a good harvest of a few pounds of fruit per plant!
Have a great season!
Thanks, very informative for this novice grower. I am looking forward to another chilli Australian summer.
