DescriptionBrain Strain Red was developed by David Cappiello from the Trinidad 7 Pot — a landrace variety from the Caribbean. The distinctive brain-like, deeply wrinkled surface gives this superhot its name, while the flavor offers a fruity, punchy, almost smoky character beneath extreme heat.

An interesting and visually unique superhot for sauce makers and extreme heat enthusiasts. Produces gnarly, fascinating pods that are as fun to grow as they are to cook with.
