I will post a full seed saving guide on the website as soon as i can but in the mean time the quickest way to do it is as follows:

  1. Gently scrape the seeds from your chosen chilli
  2. Remove as much of the white pith as possible.
  3. Place the seeds onto a piece of kitchen towel and then fold up securely or place another piece on top.
  4. Leave in a warm dry place until the seeds become snappable.
  5. Place in an air tight container and keep until next year.
