Since almost all the Scorpion Pepper seeds on Amazon seem to be FAKE, has anyone tried their luck at using seeds in the dried whole peppers?

The only thought there is that seeds from hybrid plants don't usually grow to be the same as the the parent fruit. If I'm wrong hopefully someone will correct me.

Yes after ordering seeds that had ZERO germination I got a dried pepper and planted the seeds ....I ended up with about 20 plants. Not great germination, but atleast I have plants now

I use it raw in tuna salad sandwiches and feta salads. I crush the seeds (as they are) with a pestle and throw them in with the mayonnaise, pickles, onions and tuna or the spinach, onions, olives, feta, etc.. Some cooks saut there spices/seeds in a little oil to help 'bloom' the aroma and flavors. This is common in Asian Indian cooking. Fennel seeds are often used in Italian cooking as well. What kind of soup are you pursuing? My suggestion is to U-tube that soup being made. Best wishes.

First you need Carolina reaper seeds. Not habanero which these are. They are not true reaper seeds.

I planted 5 seeds and so far one has poked up through the soil. I live in So Calif and have kept them wet. The best way to grow these plants is to buy comfrey roots, but nobody wants to ship comfrey roots to Ca. :(

Chris...I never received the seeds so I would not recommend that you buy them from the vendor (SeedsDirect). Good luck finding another source. Peppers in general are fairly slow to germinate (bottom heat helps) and as plants, the more heat the better (full sun). Fertilize well and don't overwater and you will be richly rewarded. Good luck.

yes , so do the squirrels. So mix liquid red pepper with the seed for one or two times. Squirrels learn fast and they stop eating the hot seed after a short while . No affect on birds. Just be careful with the pepper stuff- its not human safe. When u wash out a bowl after mixing it with seed, hold ur breath when u wash the bowel of else u'll be coughing. ron

I've had raw cashews from the farmers market and I just got cashews from Spicy World. They seem stale. I will be returning them right away. Must be just these cashews, the raw almonds I got from Spicy World were super fresh.

After pulling out a couple of handfuls to grind into crushed red pepper, I still had about 75% of the bag left. I counted 80 as I was removing the stems from the ones I pulled out for grinding, so my best guess would be that the package contains over 300 peppers.Why this other person only guessed 50, I can't say. Radically different sized peppers? Or perhaps the person is really, really bad at estimating? Who knows... I just know that I've got a LOT of peppers left even after using 80 of them. I ordered my 3.5 oz. package from the seller Swang-Anong.

I haven't tried this batch but any dried seed should sprout by the usual methods. Bob's Red Mill is of excellent quality and I am sure they will sprout.

You could also try Sherwood's Seeds. I had better luck from them with the Carolina Reapers.

My seeds did not germinate. Would not recommend purchase from Amazon. Try colleges with botany dept to get seedlings this is what I ended up doing

Seems to work best for larger hard seeds like pepper corns. Have not tried to grind the seeds you listed but i have tried to grind fennel. Most of the fennel seeds fall through without getting touched by the grinder. I imagine the same would happen to the small seeds you want to grind. You may need to get a mortar and pestal or try one of those electric gadgets that grinds coffee beans.

We bought it to try to grind flax seeds, but it took so much work, my wife converted it to a pepper mill. It has worked very nicely as a pepper mill for the past 10 years of daily use, but may be having some mechanical difficulties at this point. For the flax seed, we gave up on grinding our own and started buying Bob's Red Mill ground flax seed.

Last year, I put 3 pepper plants in one, which worked out fine. I also put 2 tomato plants in another, as stated in other comment, one at each end. They did OK, and they both grew very large, but I'm doing only one per box this year. The root mass was, I think, too large and they seemed crammed when I took down the plants last year. In the instructions, they give you ideas but also say that it's more trial and error. I think the climate conditions have some influence on your results as well. A family member who lives in Vegas, NV, had poor results because of the extreme heat.

They come dried I don't think it includes the stem. If you're just looking for any pepper I must warn you these are very very hot. If you're a fellow chilihead they're pretty awesome.
