Description
The Devil's Tongue is a rare heirloom pepper discovered among the Amish community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, closely related to the habanero. Its wrinkled, tapered pods ripen to vivid yellow with intense fiery heat and a distinctive fruity, citrusy flavor. Prized by pepper enthusiasts for its unique appearance and complex taste, it is used in artisan hot sauces and specialty culinary preparations.
