The Red Primotalii is an extremely hot chili pepper, a cross between the 7 Pot Primo and the Yellow Fatalii, that features a sweet, fruity, and citrusy flavor with floral notes. It has an intense, superhot heat level, possibly exceeding the Carolina Reaper's heat, and a distinctive appearance with elongated, skinny tails, ripening from green to a fiery red. This pepper is ideal for making extreme hot sauces and marinades but should be handled with extreme caution due to its high Scoville rating.
