Dragon's Breath Chili Pepper Seeds

Just when you thought super hot peppers couldn’t get any crazier, the Dragon’s Breath chili is born. The Dragon’s Breath pepper was developed in the UK and named after the Welsh Dragon, the official symbol of Wales. Apparently, they tried to use capsaicin from this super hot chili to develop a new topical anesthetic for people allergic to traditional ones.

The pepper plants we grew in 2021 reached around 3 ft. tall and produced pods quite bigger than what others have reported growing. Dragon’s Breath peppers have a medium-thick wall and ooze with nostril-stinging capsaicin oil when opened up. This newer pepper variety is very productive and very hot but still unstable.

This insanely hot pepper is no joke. Dragon’s Breath hasn’t officially dethroned the Carolina Reaper as World’s Hottest Pepper, but unofficial tests report above 2,400,000 SHUs. We're not so sure it is hotter, but we'll let you decide. Seeds and fruit should be handled with extreme caution. We quickly learned to only cut these outside wearing a double layer of gloves. Get ahold of these popular seeds while we have them and grow your own Dragon’s Breath pepper plants.
