## Questions & Answers

**Q: bought these to deter badgers not to  harm them should they be wet?**
A: Would think smell would deter them. Quite ferocious to eat but I eat while Ines. Wetting would mask the smell but rain would too. So keep them covered.

**Q: Could you tell me if these would be suitable to use in a chilli mill please?**
A: Yes, absolutely, enjoy.
Use a small amount firstly as they are v.hot.

**Q: What is the best way to store these peppers to extend its life?**
A: They're dried, I've had mine for a few years now, stored in a jar. grind them up for my own chilli powder ... better than anything you buy across the counter.
Be Warned: you may need an asbestos tongue glove.

**Q: How do you dry these?**
A: Thin skin chillies can be air dried. I usually put several layers of kitchen roll on a tray, lay the chillies out and cover with more kitchen roll to keep them clean. Put them somewhere with good airflow (not in the fridge or in a cupboard) and leave them until the skins have dried out. 
I have known people keep them while (after drying) in a large jar with some rice in - this will absorb any last bits of moisture and stop the chillies going rotten.
