Death Spiral - (Capsicum chinense)
The Death Spiral or Death Pepper is a variant of the Naga Bubblegum Red cross from the United Kingdom originally made by grower Terry Smith. It has a very bumpy spiral ridge pattern all around the pod. They ripen from light green to peach then to orange and finally red. The pepper has a very quick burn and is hotter than most Naga types. Consistency is not proven yet but most of the pods from what we grew for seeds produced a very consistent shape.
Heat level: 1,200,000 - 1,300,000+(SHU) Scoville Heat Units – Nuclear Heat.
Flavor: Has a fruity flavor with slight citrus notes.
