Lines on your Chillies a concern?

Geoff from Ajis Chillies

Do you have these lines on your chillies (especially Jalapeno) and thought you had to toss them? Don't. This is known as "Corking" and is not a problem. Basically it is just the inside growing quicker than the outside. Sounds odd, but true. In South America these chillies fetch more at markets because of the belief that they are hotter and tastier, although there is no proof of this. The message here is if you have this happening with your chillies, don't throw them out.....they are fine. Enjoy.
