Bear Tooth Pepper
🔥🔥🔥
Scoville: 100,000 - 300,000
The Bear Tooth Pepper is a rare and eye-catching variety known for its unusual shape, creamy coloration, and rugged appearance. The pods develop elongated, irregular forms with pronounced ridges, folds, and tooth-like protrusions that inspired the variety's name. As the peppers mature, they transition from pale green to creamy white or ivory, sometimes developing subtle hints of yellow. Their distinctive texture and dramatic shape make them one of the most unique peppers in any collection.
Size
The fruits typically grow 3 to 5 inches long and feature thick, crisp walls with a glossy finish. No two peppers look exactly alike, giving each harvest a wild and natural character that stands out among more uniform varieties.
Taste
The Bear Tooth Pepper offers a sweet, fruity flavor with subtle citrus notes and a pleasant peppery bite. The flesh is thick, juicy, and crunchy, making it excellent for fresh use. Depending on the individual plant, the heat can range from mild to moderately hot, providing a satisfying warmth without overwhelming the pepper's natural sweetness.
