Brain Stinger Pepper Seeds: Gnarly Super Hot
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Brain Stinger earns both halves of its name. The pods have a gnarly, bumpy surface that looks like a brain, and the heat stings hard and fast. Sweet and fruity up front with smoky undertones, then the burn hits the back of your throat and stays there.
Large, round pods that ripen from green to vibrant red. At 800K to over 1.2 million SHU, this sits right in the sweet spot between "seriously hot" and "why did I do that." Great for salsas and hot sauces where you want big flavor with real bite.
- Heat Level: 800,000 to 1,200,000+ SHU / Extreme
- Flavor Profile: Sweet, fruity, slightly smoky

Add to cart and grow something legendary this season.
