Chocolate Gator Jigsaw Chili Pepper Seeds
Chocolate Gator Jigsaw Chili Pepper Seeds

Description:
After growing out what we thought were all normal Gator Jigsaw seeds, about 20% ripened into this chocolate Gator Jigsaw variation. We kept the seeds from this new chocolate variation separate so we could offer them to anyone looking to grow a new interesting super hot variety. They did grow right next to regular Gator Jigsaws so it’s possible some could revert back to that Gator green color.
Just like most chocolate pepper varieties, the Chocolate Gator Jigsaw peppers have a distorted pendant-looking shape, with tails that spiral out on the end. The skin is wrinkly, and the colors change from green to brown on these pods.
You'll notice some nice fruity and smoky undertones when you take a bite of these peppers - that is, once you get past this intense heat! We think the heat level on these Chocolate Gator Jigsaw Peppers is similar to the original Gator Jigsaw - up to 1,500,000 SHUs - so these peppers are perfect to dry into a hot chili powder or infuse into a hot sauce or homemade spicy green salsa.
