| 7 Pot Pepper | |
| Capsicum chinense | |
| a.k.a. 7 Pod Pepper |
An extraordinarily hot pepper, rivaling the Bhut Jolokia and Trinidad Scorpion in heat. The pods grow to 1 1/2", ripen to red and have characteristically wrinkled skin. Named in the Caribbean, it derives from the thought that one single pepper is enough to spice up seven pots of stew. A difficult to find variety and still quite rare.
Maturity: 90-100 days.
Heat:
One of the hottest in the world.
Origin: Originally from Trinidad.
