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The Death Spiral or Death Pepper is a variant of the Naga Bubblegum Red cross from the United Kingdom originally made by grower Terry Smith.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.
