Description: The T-Rex Mustard pepper is an exceptionally spicy variety with a bold, fruity taste. Originating from the original red T-Rex pepper—a hybrid of the 7 Pot Douglah and Bhutlah—the mustard version shares many similarities but stands out with its distinct citrus undertones. These peppers often develop elongated, stinger-like tails, though their shapes and sizes can vary. Known for its intense heat, the mustard T-Rex rivals some of the hottest peppers. Its Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating is estimated to surpass 1,000,000.

Culinary Uses:

• Hot Sauces: The legendary T-Rex chilli has earned its place among heat-seekers, thanks to its ability to infuse sauces with a lasting, slow-building burn. A single pepper is enough to create a fiery masterpiece, giving any homemade hot sauce a potent and unforgettable intensity.
• Salsas and Dips: For a flavor-packed punch, dice or blend the chilli into fresh salsas, chutneys, and spicy dips. When paired with ripe tomatoes, crisp onions, and zesty lime juice, the result is a symphony of heat and acidity that delivers a bold explosion of taste in every bite.
• Stews and Curries: This chilli works beautifully in rich, slow-cooked dishes. Drop a whole pepper into a simmering pot of stew or curry to allow its fiery essence to infuse the dish with deep heat. Keep in mind that even a single chilli can dramatically amplify spice levels—so be sure to remove it before serving for a controlled burn.
• Pickling: Lock in the chilli’s intense heat by preserving it in a tangy brine. Pickled chillies offer a unique balance of heat and acidity, making them an addictive addition to sandwiches, tacos, or charcuterie boards. The transformation from fresh heat to vinegary bite keeps the thrill alive in every jar.
• Infused Oils and Vinegars: For those who love custom spice blends, crafting your own chilli-infused oils or vinegars is the perfect way to harness this fiery flavour. Let whole chillies steep in oil or vinegar for several weeks, allowing their heat to develop and integrate fully. Strain the infusion, then use it to drizzle over pizzas, salads, or grilled meats for a robust, lingering warmth.

This cultivar is not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare to embrace its power, it delivers an unmatched, intense heat experience that lingers long after the first bite.
