Devil's Tongue Pepper Seeds

The Devil’s Tongue Pepper, currently considered the 7th hottest pepper in the world, was “discovered” growing amongst other habaneros in Pennsylvania. Its exact origins are unknown but it is clearly in the habanero family based on its taste and heat level.

Devil’s Tongue peppers have been measured as high as 325,000 Scoville heat units. Their bright yellow wrinkly pods make Devil’s Tongue peppers easy to spot when ripe.
