The Thanos Pepper belongs to the Capsicum chinense species and is the result of intentional hybridization between two notable cultivars: 'Blue Ghost' and 'Purple Phantom'. This development sought to unite the extreme heat of super-hot varieties with an unparalleled aesthetic, worthy of its name inspired by the Marvel universe.
Thanos is unequivocally classified as a super-hot pepper, easily reaching the 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) mark. While strictly reserved for heat enthusiasts, it surprises with a complex and fruity flavor profile. The heat is intense and overwhelming, preceded by earthy notes and a subtle smoky touch.
Its appearance is one of its biggest attractions. The Thanos Pepper exhibits dramatic and changing coloration: the immature fruit has a deep purple, almost black tone. As it ripens, it transitions spectacularly to a vibrant peach orange, keeping residual dark spots and streaks, creating a visual effect reminiscent of nebulae or the Infinity Stones.
Highly recommended for producing hot sauces and homemade extracts where maximum potency is essential. Also excellent for drying and grinding into super-hot flakes, it must be handled with great caution.
Thanos - SHU 1,000,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification sticker of species, origin and heat.
