Komodo Dragon Pepper
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Scoville: 1,400,000 - 2,200,000
The Komodo Dragon Pepper is an exceptionally powerful superhot variety known for its blistering heat, striking red coloration, and surprisingly rich flavor. Developed in the United Kingdom, this fearsome pepper produces heavily wrinkled pods that ripen from green to a brilliant crimson red. Its rugged texture, folded skin, and aggressive appearance reflect the intense heat hidden within each fruit.
Size
The peppers typically grow 2 to 3 inches long with a broad, chunky shape and deeply textured surface. As the pods mature, they develop a glossy red finish that makes them as visually impressive as they are intimidating. Productive plants yield numerous bright red fruits throughout the growing season, creating a dramatic display in the garden.
Taste
The Komodo Dragon delivers a surprisingly complex flavor before its heat takes over. The pods offer fruity notes, subtle sweetness, and hints of citrus and berry. Many pepper enthusiasts appreciate the rich flavor that develops during the first few seconds before the intense heat begins to build. The burn starts gradually, then rapidly intensifies into a powerful, long-lasting experience that places this pepper among the world's hottest varieties.
