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 - 1,200,000+ SHU / Extreme
- Flavor Profile: Sweet, fruity, slightly smoky
- Days to Maturity: 95-150 days from transplant

Growing tip: The brain-like texture develops more with good growing conditions. Full sun and consistent watering help produce the gnarliest pods.
