Douglah 7 Pot Pepper

The Douglah 7 Pot pepper is extremely hot and one of my favorites. They can range from about 900,000 to well over 1,800,000 scoville units. These peppers have a pimply texture and grow in odd shapes and seem very light as if they were hollow. The heat level is very hot up front and gets intense very quickly. The taste has a slight earthy flavor but is not overwhelming which tells me I need to make some salsa with these peppers very soon.

Trinidad 7 Pot / Pod

Capsicum chinense


This pepper is extremely hot and has a scoville unit range from about 600,000 - 800,000 or more when the growing conditions are right. This plant can take up to 120 days for harvest. The pepper has a citrus like flavor and is very potent tasting when eaten alone but works great for drying and grinding up into powders for use in hot salsas. The plant should be started early to guarantee harvest into the late summer. Medium to full sun works well with this plant type.
