Thor's Thunderbolt: The Nordic Lightning
The Thor's Thunderbolt Pepper (Capsicum chinense) is a visually spectacular hybrid developed by breeders in Australia, named after the Norse God of Thunder due to its electrifying heat and "lightning" shape. It is a variety highly sought after by collectors for its ornamental beauty and its intensity, which fills the gap between Habanero and the most extreme super-hots like Carolina Reaper. It is the ideal pepper for those seeking potent pungency with a touch of smoke and unparalleled garden aesthetics.
Intensity and Flavor Profile
Thor's Thunderbolt is classified as Super Strong (Very High Pungency Degree).
Its Scoville level (SHU) is estimated between 300,000 and 500,000 SHU, a heat comparable to that of a Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper). The burn is described as explosive and sharp, hitting the palate quickly and building continuously. It is a heat that demands respect, but does not reach the extreme peak of top-tier peppers.
The flavor is fruity and mildly sweet at the start, with the characteristic floral and smoky aroma of chinense. Many enthusiasts note that its flavor is very clean, allowing the pepper's notes to stand out before the heat becomes dominant. The pulp is wrinkled and the plant tends to have dark foliage.
Shape and Essential Culinary Use
The fruits are its trademark: wrinkled, crooked, and with irregular shapes reminiscent of lightning bolts. The color is its other standout feature, as the fruits undergo a dramatic transition: they are born dark purple (giving it an ornamental look), transition to peach/cream, and end in a peach-cream tone with possible purple spots.
This pepper is valued for its dual utility (aesthetic and culinary), being used mainly in: Hot Sauces where a strong heat with a subtle smoky background flavor is desired.
Thor's Thunderbolt - SHU 500,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification sticker of species, origin and heat.
