Saras Green Pepper

Capsicum chinense

Here is the Saras Green Pepper, Capsicum chinense, Scoville units: 500 to 5,000+ SHU. This peppers origins are unknown at this point. This variety of pepper is a heavily fluted habanero type of fruit but not a habanero. It is said to be a "cross" of a Chocolate Scorpion SR and some unknown pepper. The pods are a medium sized pepper with a short stocky body shape and a medium heat. The pods can range in size from 2 to 3.5 inches long. Fruits start out green in color and turn to a darker green with undertones of school bus yellow when fully ripe. The inside of the pepper has a deep darker yellow-orange color when fully ripe. Plants can get to 3.5+ feet tall and tend to be a medium sized plant but if pruned and potted they tend to stay small like 2.5 feet tall and bushy. Pods have an amazing flavor with a very nice uniqueness and medium to low heat and very satisfying. Some peppers may be very hot so be careful! These make a great drying pepper with the walls being medium an will dry on the plant if left on. It's also good for fresh eating too! Very rare and hard to get variety! Open pollinated mid to late season 77 to 98+ days.
