Sweet Moruga pepper plant, ripe red pods, mild, (C. chinense)

Price: $12.00 USD

A flavor-forward selection from the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion family. Capsicum chinense from Trinidad and Tobago, 0–1,000 SHU. Despite the family it comes from, this one carries almost none of the heat. The word “Sweet” refers to a more complex, fruity flavor profile compared to straight heat bombs. Thick, bumpy pods. Used in hot sauces where flavor matters as much as heat.
