About this pepper

The 7 Pot 007 Chocolate is a super-hot pepper variety developed by American breeder Butch Taylor. Originally, the 7 Pot 007 peppers were red; however, a chocolate-coloured variant was later identified and cultivated. The pods typically measure between 2 to 5 centimetres in length and exhibit a distinctive inward-folding shape, sometimes containing a smaller internal pepper and featuring a concave tip. Variations in pod shape are common within this variety. The plants are known to perform well in moist, shaded conditions.
