my cayenne peppers

[tjg911]

i ate one about 4 weeks ago and it was hot enough that i thought eating them raw was too hot. yesterday i ate 2 raw, no big deal! now 1 was more green than red so i expected that one to be not too hot. the other was red, all red. i did cut out the pith and seeds but at the pointed end i ate about 1/4 without removing them. neither seemed to be all that hot!

are peppers that ripen outside the strong strength of the sun's rays and the heat of summer not has hot? maybe i just had a red pepper that was not that hot but others will be?
