The Naga Tiger Chocolate is an exotic variety belonging to the super hot pepper family (Capsicum chinense), known for its deep color and complex flavor, typically associated with "Chocolate" or dark peppers. It inherits the explosive heat of Naga peppers, such as Naga Morich or Bhut Jolokia.
Heat Level (Nuclear): This pepper is firmly in the Nuclear category. Its heat can reach and exceed 1,000,000 Scoville Units (SHU). The heat is characteristically slow to build but intense and long-lasting when it peaks.
Characteristic Flavor: It features fruity notes and an earthy depth with a touch of smokiness, reminiscent of "dark chocolate" or "cocoa". This deep flavor makes it an excellent enhancement for full-bodied dishes.
Shape and Color: The fruits are medium-sized (about 5-6 cm), with the wrinkled and irregular shape typical of super hots. The final color is a stunning dark brown to deep chocolate when ripe.
Usage: Highly valued for the production of super hot sauces, especially fermented ones. It is excellent for seasoning dark meats, chili, ragù, and winter dishes that require depth of flavor and extreme heat.
