This variety is from the Chaguanas area of Trinidad. It has built up an almost myth like quality. In Caribbean regions, it is also known as 7 pot as one pod is said to provide enough heat to spice up 7 pots of stew. Pods are habenaro like in their shape but have the characteristic 'pimpling' as found on another fearsome variety - the Naga Morich.
Unusually the proportion of Placental tissue is very high - an allusion to why this pepper is so outrageously hot. We now see this pepper in various colours - red, yellow, brown, white and burgundy. No doubt purple will be along soon, followed by Cappuchino, Dusty Pink.
Other varieties include the 7 pod Barrackpore, Primo, Jonah, Brain-Strain, and Trinidad Douglah (brown 7 pod). It ranks between 800,000 and 1,000,000 SHU on the Scoville scale.
