Nepal Snakebite Chilli Seeds

Species: Capsicum chinense

Description

Nepal Snakebite is a rare and dramatic chinense chilli known for its long, slender, slightly twisted pods that resemble a snake’s fangs. The fruits ripen from green to bright red, producing a visually striking display on compact, bushy plants.

Heat levels are extremely hot, typically estimated at 300,000–500,000 Scoville Heat Units, delivering a sharp, lingering burn with fruity and slightly floral undertones. This variety is ideal for hot sauces, pastes, extracts, and culinary uses that require both intense heat and striking appearance.

Plants are vigorous, productive, and thrive in warm, protected conditions. Nepal Snakebite is best suited for experienced chinense growers due to its high heat and unique growth habit.
