The 7 Pot Mustard is a superhot chili pepper known for its beautiful mustard-yellow to dark olive green color when ripe, and a complex flavor profile that combines fruity, earthy, and smoky notes. It shares the superhot heat of the original Trinidadian 7 Pot peppers, with a Scoville rating in the superhot range, though it is often considered slightly less intense than its red counterparts. The name "7 Pot" comes from the belief that one pepper's heat is sufficient to spice seven pots of food.
