I would like to point out that there is no difference. I grow naga in my home and most of my chillie pods are big and hollow like the dorset naga. It all depends on how well you look after your plants. Naga is naga. No matter what you name it. We Bangladeshis have been using and growing it for thousands of years. The so called Dorset can be found in any street corner in Bangladesh being sold by the poor old lady of the village. What you find in the shops is immature pods solely intendent for keeping the market supplied without any consideration whether the chillies have matured or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677065.post-6144315631339463102007-03-11T11:40:00.000-04:002007-03-11T11:40:00.000-04:00Hi T, I total agree with your comments.
