The Zing pepper originated in Michigan and lives up to its name. Red, bumpy pods with stubby tails and heat that rivals the Carolina Reaper. Some estimates put it over 2 million SHU. The initial flavor is sweet and fruity, then transitions to smoky and earthy before the brutal heat takes everything else away.
Heavy producing plants that grow tall and do well in Northern climates. If you're in a cooler growing zone and think you can't grow superhots, the Zing was literally bred for your conditions.
