7-Pot Chili Pepper

by Mike Hultquist · Oct 23, 2013 · 7 Comments ·

SCOVILLE HEAT UNITS: Over 1 Million SHU

The heat of the 7-Pot pepper is similar to the Bhut Jolokia but with a more fruity and nutty flavor, like other Caribbean peppers. It is becoming more popular and well-known among chile-heads, but the seeds are very rare and hard to find.

7 Pot Peppers

The 7-Pot is from Trinidad, and there are a few different versions, including the Yellow 7-Pot, the 7-Pot Jonah, and the Chocolate, or 7-Pot Douglah. It is related to the Trinidad Scorpion Pepper and has rough, pimpled skin, but is more plump, with a ribbed texture and a more fruity flavor. Its name refers to the saying that it is hot enough to spice 7 pots of stew. In Trinidad, it is used in military grade tear gas and marine paint, which prevents barnacles.

    I just got in deep on the Yellow 7 Pots. So good. Remind me somewhat, but not quite of one of my favorites.... the Scotch Bonnet!

    Hi!
    Used as ingredient in teargas!?!!!!
    What have I grown?
    I have a 7 pot peach plant growing in my greenhouse producing a fair few of these grenades.
    Any suggestions on what the heck to use them in without killing my family?

    Cheers Sarah

      Yes, Sarah, these are HOT! I'm growing them again this year as well. Some people like to make hot sauce from them, but that's probably too hot for you. You could put one of them into a giant pot of chili and it will heat up the entire pot, of course. I like to dehydrate them then grind them into chili flakes or chili powder. Use sparingly. Really, though, you can use them in any recipe on this site.
