Pepper Hot, Goronong

90-100 days. A truly rare habanero type pepper from Malaysia with beautiful contorted pods in a canary yellow color. Chinense or habanero type peppers are not commonly used in East Asia, making this a most intriguing outlier. The heat is approximately equal to a habanero; the pods reach about 3 ½ inches long and are quite ornamental. Try this pepper in a range of dishes or pickle it into a searing hot Malaysian achar!
