This forum uses a different code

I won't hazzaard a guess as it could be a number of peppers

thanx for posting the pictures for me. What code do you use to post pictures here?

I don't know how to post it without getting a red x in a box. email me

I forgot to mention that the peppers pictured above are from india.

They look very like chiles de arbol depending upon how long they are.

If I understand your post correctly, a friend gave you dried chili peppers and you want to know if they are really hot. Taste some of the dried pods and seeds and you should know if they are hot enough for you. They will not be exactly like fresh peppers, but should give you enough information to decide if you want to grow the seeds.

Break the pods open and plant only the seeds. If the pods were dried at a warm (but not really hot) temperature, the seeds should grow well.

This pods are about 2 inches long. I broke a pod and tasted some of it and its a some what hot. Not sure how to compare it since its dried.

One more question, How do I post a picture here?
