About this pepper

White Bullet Habanero is a Capsicum chinense habanero-type hybrid originating from the Caribbean. It was later trademarked by Redwood City Seed Company in California.

Plants are extremely productive and can produce very large numbers of pods per season. Fruits are small and distinctive, typically around 2.5 centimetres long and 1.3 centimetres wide, with a narrow bullet-like shape. Pods mature to an ivory white colour.

Heat levels are very high, commonly reported around 250,000 Scoville Heat Units, making it hotter than standard orange habaneros and many chocolate habanero types. The flavour is sharp and fruity, typical of habanero peppers, paired with intense heat.
