The Black Scorpion Tongue Chilli is an exceedingly uncommon Capsicum annuum variety which, in optimal circumstances, can exhibit striping running along the pod's interior. Intense sunlight is essential to bring out these one-of-a-kind patterns.

The leaves of Black Scorpion Tongue Chilli are distinctively dark purple as opposed to the common green hue, and even the flower pedals take on this hue. As the pepper fruit matures from dark purple to a deep red hue, striping begins to be visible.

The origin of The Black Scorpion Tongue Chilli remains unclear.

Growing Info

The plant is capable of reaching over one metre in height when grown in a pot, aiding its ease of care and maintenance. Supportive planting stakes may be required once pods begin to form, as their weight can cause branches to droop. 

Cooking & Eating

Black Scorpion Tongue Chilli's formidable tastes crunchy, sweet and a bit salty, plus sort of apple-like and makes it a perfect component for constructing a fantastic and highly colourful salsa. The unique flavour of this type of pepper delivers an intense, but balanced heat which imparts a delightful complexity to sauces, stews, and salsas.
