Description:
A cross between the Orange Scotch Bonnet and the 7 Pot Brain, the resulting Scotch Brain Strain Orange Pepper has an almost menacing texture that dares you to take a bite out of it. Although not quite as menacing as other super hot peppers, this variety still has a decent amount of heat with a plethora of great flavors.
These pepper plants will grow up to 2 ft. tall and produce good yields of these tiny pepper that grow between 1-2" long. Scotch Brain Strain Orange pods have a rounded shape and bumpy (almost boiling-like) texture similar to the brain-like look of the 7 Pot varieties. Ripening from green to its signature orange color at maturity
While not super hot, the Orange Scotch Brain Strain can still reach heat levels in excess of 300,000 SHUs - similar to hotter Habanero peppers. You'll enjoy a citrusy, tangy flavor with a little bit of floral bitterness when you bite into these pods. Try grinding these peppers into chili powder and sprinkle over grilled or smoked meats for a spicy, fruity flavor!
We carry other Hot Pepper Seeds for you to try, including other varieties of Scotch Bonnet Pepper Seeds.
