Nagabon

About this variety

The Nagabon is a hybrid cross between a Scotch Bonnet and a Naga (Ghost Pepper), combining the fruity Caribbean flavor of the Scotch Bonnet with the intense heat of superhot chilies. This relatively recent hybrid delivers extreme heat while maintaining some of the tropical sweetness characteristic of its Scotch Bonnet parentage. The pepper typically matures to a vibrant red color with a wrinkled, bumpy surface similar to other superhot varieties.
