*Because chili peppers contain very pungent oils (the membranes and seeds carry the heat), be sure to protect your hands when preparing either fresh or dried peppers. Put plastic gloves or sandwich bags over your hands so your skin doesn’t come into contact with the peppers. Always wash your hands and nails thoroughly in hot, soapy water after handling chili peppers.
