PEP084 Caribbean Red
What's the hottest pepper you can name? Red Habenero? Red Savina? Not
even close! It's our personal belief that none of these scorchers can hold a
candle to the heat generated by Red Caribbean's wrinkled little fruits. Officially,
the jury still may be out on the world's hottest pepper, but we've seen Caribbean
Red come out on top test after test, against scores of other peppers around
the world. Blunt, tapered, 1-1/2" fruits rate twice as hot as a typical commercial
variety and can be used green, although they will be a little less sweet if
harvested early. Plants grow to 30". 110 days. We've seen many different tests, and some have indicated these can go over 300,000 Scoville units, seriously, handle these fruits with gloves, you don't want to rub your eyes after handling these!.
