Description
The Dragon's Breath is an extreme superhot chili developed in Wales by horticulturalist Mike Smith in collaboration with Nottingham Trent University, briefly claiming the title of world's hottest pepper at 2.48 million SHU. Its small, wrinkled, tapered pods ripen to a deep red with an intensely hot yet surprisingly fruity flavor profile. Originally developed for potential medical applications as a topical anesthetic, it is not intended for casual culinary use.
