About this pepper

Bad Bach is a modern named superhot pepper circulating through Matt’s Peppers, and it was publicly listed in that catalogue by 2 April 2026. The available seller description identifies it as producing large, red, bumpy pods and as being quite prolific. Its public identity is built around that combination of strong superhot heat, a heavy textured pod surface, and a bold red mature fruit colour.
