The Atomics Yellow Painsicle is a new, extremely hot pepper released by AtomicPepperSeeds in 2024. It is part of the "Painsicle" line, which is known for its intense heat, high productivity, and painful bite.
Characteristics
- Heat level: The pepper is described as "stunningly painful". While the exact Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating isn't specified, its branding and comparison to other peppers in the "Painsicle" line (like the Peach Painsicle, which was crossed with a ghost pepper) indicates it is a superhot variety.
- Appearance: It has a "gnarly looking" shape and a vibrant yellow color that "demands attention".
- Origin: The pepper was developed through isolated cross-breeding by Atomic Pepper Seeds.
- Productivity: It is noted for being a heavy producer, yielding a large number of peppers per plant.
These seeds were grown in isolation to preserve genetics.
