store bought habeneros

Is there any reason why I can't grow from seeds saved from store bought fruit?

No reason at all. My buddy Pat saved seeds from a pepper year before last. Just put the seeds on a paper plate and let them dry. Every single one germinated last year. Go for it!

I agree I always plant seeds from peppers out of the store.
some of the best cantaloupes I have had were from saved seeds from out of the store.
They didn't come true they were smaller but they were sweeeeet.

Thanks guys, I have a big ol' pile of seeds now. I am drying a pound and a half of fresh fruit, which will make less than a cup of ground powder for season salt. Dry winter air is great for air drying.
