Just when you thought super hot peppers couldn’t get any crazier, the Dragon’s Breath chili is born. The Dragon’s Breath pepper was developed in the UK and named after the Welsh Dragon, the official symbol of Wales. Apparently, they tried to use capsaicin from this super hot chili to develop a new topical anesthetic for people allergic to traditional ones. This newer pepper variety is very productive but still unstable.
Dragon’s Breath hasn’t officially dethroned the Carolina Reaper as World’s Hottest Pepper, but unofficial tests report above 2,400,000 SHUs. We’re not so sure it is hotter, but we’ll let you decide. Seeds and fruit should be handled with extreme caution. Get ahold of these popular seeds and grow your own Dragon’s Breath pepper plants!
