Can someone help identify this superhot?

last modified: 11 years ago

At a local grocery store we picked these little buggers up. It was a chinese supermarket, so everything was mislabeled. Does anyone have an idea of what this pepper is? Its extremely hot. I've tried moruga scorpions in the past, this was noticebly less spicy than that one, but its without a doubt a superhot.

I'm with scotch bonnet... especially since they were purchased in a market.

that might not be the best example. I still that is what you have.

Not sure what the name on the label is but I think that is just the Chinese version of the word "Jalapeno". And those are not Jalapeno peppers for sure.

Exactly, lol. And it's badly misspelled either way. I think this may be a scotch bonnet. Would certainly explain the heat punch delivered by this pepper.

Could be Caribbean red habs or some other type of hab, maybe even a Scotch Bonnet pepper. It is more than likely NOT a super hot.

Looks like a Trinidad Congo.

It could possibly be Brazillian Pumpkin.

I agree with john11840, "Aji Brazilian Pumpkin".
