Description: The “Tiger Teeth” chilli is an elongated Habanero type with solid growth and heavy pods. These pods measure about 5-8 cm in length and 2.5 cm in width, averaging around 21 grams. The heat level can be explosively hot, reaching over 250,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Cooler weather intensifies its heat production, making it a fiery choice for spice enthusiasts. As the pods mature, they transition from green to orange and finally to red. The flavour profile is bright and grassy, with intense pungency.
