Dear Mr. Maley,
You seem to reached a wrong prerson. I do not know anything about chillies.
I even do not use chillies in my food as I am very sensitive to these.
If you have any question about fruits, particularly the lesser known ones or
even medicinal plants, you may ask me.
Best regards,
Dr. Chiranjit Parmar
