KSLS (Khang Starr Lemon StarrBurst) Pepper
🔥🔥🔥
Scoville: 100,000-350,000
The Khang Starr Lemon StarrBurst, commonly known as KSLS, is one of the most beautiful and flavorful peppers developed in recent years. Created by renowned pepper breeder Khang Starr, this variety is famous for its unique flying-saucer shape, brilliant lemon-yellow color, and outstanding citrus-forward flavor. The pods resemble tiny UFOs or stars, with flattened bodies and flared wings that make them instantly recognizable among pepper enthusiasts.
Size
The fruits typically measure 1.5 to 2.5 inches wide and ripen from green to a vibrant, glossy lemon yellow. Their distinctive shape and bright coloration create a spectacular display, often making the plant look more like an ornamental flower than a pepper plant.
Taste
The KSLS is celebrated for its exceptionally bright and fruity flavor. The peppers deliver intense notes of lemon, citrus, tropical fruit, and sweetness, followed by a pleasant medium heat that enhances rather than overwhelms the flavor. The flesh is crisp and juicy, making it one of the most enjoyable peppers to eat fresh directly from the plant.
