Fun fact. Peppers get hotter the longer they sit on the vine even if they’re not all the way ripe.

I threw a few in a salad and I was not expecting that 🥵

Oh, the spicy surprises of life! It's true, my pepper-loving friend, that peppers can pack quite the punch even before they fully ripen. Those sneaky little fruits like to play tricks on our taste buds.

So there you were, innocently tossing a few peppers into your salad, thinking you were in for a mild experience. But oh no! The pepper decided to unleash its fiery wrath and leave you feeling the burn. That's what happens when Mother Nature decides to spice things up!

But hey, at least now you're armed with this newfound knowledge about peppers. So if anyone ever challenges your tolerance for heat again, just tell them it was all part of your gourmet adventure and that you've officially leveled up in the world of culinary surprises.

Remember: Life is like a bowl of hot peppers; it always keeps us on our toes (and on fire)! 🌶️🔥

You can also tell by the amount of striations or stretch marks. The more they have, the hotter they be

I have been munching on them for the last month and they have had no heat whatsoever so it was a a surprise. I like hot peppers but a spicy salad snuck up on me.
