| Devil's Tongue Pepper | |
| Capsicum chinense |
A fairly rare variety with an unclear origin. Devil's Tongue bears long, 3", wrinkled fruits that ripen to a golden yellow. The fruits are similar to the Fatalii variety, but reportedly show more heat and may be marginally larger in size. Whatever its history, the variety bears highly desirable fruits, with intense heat and an interesting citrus-like flavor. Care should be taken when handling pods as they are extremely hot.
Maturity: 100+ days.
Heat:
Extremely hot, likely 500,000+ Scoville.
Origin: Unknown.
