7 Pot peppers are known for their wicked heat, and the 7 Pot Brain Strain is no exception. This is a scorching hot pepper (1,000,000 to 1,350,000 Scoville heat units), with a fruity, slightly smoky flavor lurking behind the sun-like burn. But what makes the Brain Strain different is its looks. This chili has been cultivated to look much like the human brain – lumpy, folding, and bulbous – with more internal membrane than most other 7 Pot chilies. It’s a unique visual twist not often found on the pepper scale.
