1,000,000 SHU. Developed by Kevin Bane, this pepper is an exceptionally rare variety whose origins remain largely unknown to most growers, distinguished from its many look-alikes by being a mutation of the Peach Bhut Pepper. The Contorted Coco exhibits no uniform phenotype, resulting in pods of various contorted shapes and sizes. These pods deliver a substantial heat that is balanced by sweetness and a subtle floral hint, without any bitterness, making them a unique addition to the pepper world. Non-Isolated.
