Enjoy a taste of the islands with this blazing fiery hot pepper.  And we are not kidding about the heat..these peppers pack a mouth and eye watering punch!  We recommend handling both the seeds and fruit with care. Light green peppers, about 4 x 5 cm in size with a wrinkled texture turn bright orange-red when mature. To avoid transferring the active component capsaicin (which is responsible for producing the “heat” sensation) to sensitive parts of your body, we recommend washing your hands after handling seeds or preparing the peppers. Plants grow 50-70 cm in height. Scoville Heat Unit Rating – 400,000

Scoville Heat Units – The Scoville heat unit (SHU) rating is your guide to the perceived hotness of peppers caused by the active component capsaisin. The scale runs from about 2500 SHU for the mildest Anaheim to several million SHU. Our hottest is the Caribbean Red-Hot at 400,000 SHU.
