Komodo Dragon - (Capsicum chinense)
The Komodo Dragon was introduced in 2015 and went on sale at Tesco stores in the UK. Originally created by Salvatore Genovese it has a delayed fuse of 10 or so seconds before the bomb of heat to kick in. Prior to the explosion of heat you taste the fruitiness and wonderful flavor of the sneaky beast. The plants produce 1.5-2.5 inch peppers that ripen from green to deep red. The plants reach to 3-4 feet tall and are extremely productive.
Heat level: 1,400,000 to 2,200,000(SHU) Scoville Heat Units – Extremely Hot.
