Naga Brain Pepper Seeds: Wrinkled Super Hot
Couldn't load pickup availability
A cross between a Brain Strain and a Dorset Naga, the Naga Brain is one of the wildest looking peppers you'll ever grow. The "brain like" wrinkled, bumpy texture is unmistakable. Pick one up and you'll see exactly where the name comes from.
The flavor is complex for a superhot: fruity, floral, with earthy and tangy notes that come through before the extreme heat takes over. Pods ripen from green to red and can get 2 to 3 inches long. Excellent for hot sauces where you want serious heat with real depth.
- Heat Level: 1,000,000+ SHU / Extreme
- Flavor Profile: Fruity, floral, earthy with a tangy bite
- Days to Maturity: 95 to 150 days from transplant
- Difficulty: Advanced
- Seeds per Pack: 10+
Every seed is grown in isolation tents at our Nebraska farm, keeping the chance of cross pollination to around 4%.
Growing tip: The more wrinkled and brain like the pods, the better. Good growing conditions (heat, sun, consistent watering) help develop that signature texture.
Add to cart and grow something legendary this season.
