Peppers, peppers everywhere

It is pepper season here. The harvest started a few weeks ago. Peppers were laying out everywhere, drying on sheets or boards. Now they've been packed in big bags. These ladies were in the middle of the downtown walkway the other day, working on the bagged peppers. I watched them for a minute, and I believe they were taking the seeds out. Perhaps to make the chili paste that is used in many Korean dishes.
