About this pepper

Lucifer's Mustard is a modern Capsicum chinense line that appeared as a mustard-coloured version of Lucifer's Lemons. The exact-name Etsy listing describes it as a mustard version that showed up in 2026 from Lucifer's Lemons, identified there as a BBG7 strain by Tom K, while Matt's Peppers lists it separately under the same exact name. This places Lucifer's Mustard in the recent specialist seed-trade scene as a newly surfaced derivative line rather than an older heirloom or regional market pepper.

Its identity is built around mustard-yellow superhot pods with a rough, heavily textured surface. Matt's Peppers describes it as producing large mustard-coloured pods with tails, and the Etsy listing imagery shows wrinkled, bumpy fruit in green and mustard-yellow stages, including elongated forms with pointed ends. In current public circulation, that combination of mustard colouring, heavy wrinkling, and tailed pod shape is the core of the pepper's appearance.

The heat is presented in exact-name trade as very hot, and the line is directly tied to Lucifer's Lemons, which current specialist sellers describe as a Capsicum chinense superhot created by Tom Kleinfelter with a reported heat range of about 800,000 to 1,000,000+ SHU. Because Lucifer's Mustard is described as a mustard version that emerged from that same line, its present identity is that of a superhot mustard off-type within the Lucifer's Lemons breeding stream.
