like everything hawaiian, the longer you let it sit and "miko" the better
with this you can make pickled maui onion and other pickled stuffs
Hawaiian Chilis only score 50,000 to 70,000 on the Scoville Heat Unit scale
Usually the smaller they are the hotter they are
They were used as corporal punishment in place of a belt when we were kids
no eat your vegetables
you get a hawaiian chili rubbed on your lips and tongue and you stand facing the corner until you eat your vegetables.
