7 Pod Peach Chilli Pepper – 10 Seeds
Species: Capsicum chinense
Origin: Trinidad
Description
7 Pod Peach is a beautifully coloured superhot chilli, prized for its soft peach ripening pods, intense heat, and rich, fruity aroma. Named after the traditional “7 Pod” type, a single pod is said to be hot enough to flavour seven dishes.
Plants are vigorous and productive, producing bumpy, lantern-shaped pods that ripen from green to a warm peach tone. Despite the extreme heat, this variety offers a sweet, tropical fruit flavour that makes it highly sought after for sauces, powders, and ferments.
