  • De-seeded chillies

    Hi. I’ve had a Goggle and can’t find the answer to this question. I am going to de-seed some chillies for a recipe. Is there anything I can use the seeds for, rather than throw them away? Thanks.

    The only use I can think of for chilli seeds is the obvious one - growing chilli plants. Other than that, I'm stumped.

      Found this!!!

      Chilli spray Pesticide.

      Crush and grind 4 cups of ripe chilli pods or 5 cups of chilli seeds. Place in a pan with 3 litres of water and boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Take off the heat and add 3 more litres of water. Leave to cool. Then filter through a cloth and keep the liquid. Add soap so that the mixture sticks to the pests and the leaves. Use potash based soft soap that is used for washing dishes and not the modern washing powders that contain caustic soda which will harm plants.
      How to use: Use as a spray or sprinkle using twigs or grass tied together to form a whisk, against most insects including caterpillars, aphids, flies, ants and mealy bugs. Apply once a week if there is no rain or two or three times a week if it rains. It is important to use this solution as a preventative measure.
      If the concentration of the chilli solution is too strong, it can burn the leaves. So it is important that the right strength is found by testing.

            Well, the seeds are hot...so you could use to make a chilli vinegar or oil? Cook in the vinegar/oil and strain, pour into small sterilised bottles.
