7 Pot BBG Peach (Bubblegum Peach) ISO Seeds
Name: 7 Pot BBG Peach (Bubblegum Peach) ISOLATED
Background:
The 7 Pot BBG Peach, also known as the Bubblegum Peach, is a unique and super-hot chili pepper that originated from a cross involving the 7 Pot Yellow and the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. It belongs to the “Bubblegum” family of peppers, named for the characteristic “bleeding” effect where the peach color extends from the pod into the calyx and stem. This variety offers both intense heat and a sweet, fruity flavor, making it popular among chili enthusiasts.Characteristics:
Appearance:
The 7 Pot BBG Peach has a wrinkled, bumpy texture and matures to a soft, peach-pink color. Its distinct feature is the “bleeding” effect where the color of the pod extends into the calyx and sometimes the stem, giving it the appearance of chewed bubblegum. This effect makes the pepper particularly attractive and unique.Heat Level:
The 7 Pot BBG Peach ranges between 800,000 and 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), delivering a significant and lasting burn. It is comparable in heat to the Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) and is recommended for those with a high tolerance for spice.Size:
The pods are small to medium-sized, typically around 1.5 to 2 inches long, with a bulbous shape that tapers slightly. The compact size is deceptive, as it contains a potent amount of capsaicin.Taste Profile:
The 7 Pot BBG Peach offers a fruity, tropical flavor with hints of citrus and floral notes. Its slight sweetness complements its intense heat, making it ideal for creating complex hot sauces or adding a distinctive flavor to dishes.
Culinary Uses:
This pepper is perfect for making fiery hot sauces, spicy relishes, and chili powders. Its fruity flavor also makes it a great addition to tropical salsas, marinades, and dishes that balance sweet and spicy flavors. Due to its heat level, it should be used sparingly, as even a small piece can significantly raise the spice level of a dish.
Growing Notes:
The 7 Pot BBG Peach plant grows to about 3 feet tall and produces a moderate yield of peach-colored pods. It thrives in warm climates with full sun and well-draining soil. The plant is moderately productive, and the pods mature later in the season, rewarding growers with a vibrant and unique harvest.
Caution:
As with other super-hot peppers, gloves are recommended when handling the 7 Pot BBG Peach to avoid skin irritation. Care should be taken to avoid touching the face or eyes after handling.
Fun Fact:
The “BBG” in its name stands for “Bubblegum,” which is a reference to its unusual trait of color bleeding from the pod into the calyx, resembling bubblegum. This characteristic makes it visually unique and a favorite among collectors.
