Name: 7 Pot Chocolate Primo

Background:
The 7 Pot Chocolate Primo is an extremely hot pepper that originated as a variation of the famous 7 Pot Primo. Developed by Troy Primeaux, also known as “Primo,” this chocolate-colored version of the 7 Pot Primo delivers intense heat and a unique earthy flavor. Known for its dark brown color and wrinkled texture, the 7 Pot Chocolate Primo is a favorite among chili enthusiasts who crave both heat and depth of flavor.

Characteristics:

  • Appearance:
    The 7 Pot Chocolate Primo has a rough, bumpy texture with a deep, chocolate-brown color when fully ripe. Its pods are typically elongated and wrinkled, with a characteristic stinger-like tail, similar to the scorpion pepper. The dark color gives it a visually intimidating appearance that stands out among other super-hots.

  • Heat Level:
    This pepper can reach between 1,200,000 and 1,800,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it one of the hottest peppers available. The heat is powerful and long-lasting, providing a slow-building burn that can be overwhelming for those not accustomed to extreme spice.

  • Size:
    The pods are medium-sized, usually around 1.5 to 2 inches in length, with a narrow, twisted shape. Despite their small size, they pack an impressive amount of heat and flavor.

  • Taste Profile:
    The 7 Pot Chocolate Primo has a complex, earthy flavor with smoky undertones and a hint of sweetness. This rich profile pairs well with savory dishes, adding both heat and depth without overpowering the flavors.

Culinary Uses:
The 7 Pot Chocolate Primo is ideal for making ultra-hot sauces, chili powders, and spicy marinades. Its earthy, smoky flavor complements barbecue sauces, stews, and hearty meats, bringing both heat and a robust taste. Given its extreme heat level, it should be used sparingly, as even a small amount can elevate a dish to super-hot status.

Growing Notes:
The 7 Pot Chocolate Primo plant grows to about 3 to 4 feet tall and produces a moderate yield of chocolate-brown pods. It thrives in warm, sunny environments and requires well-draining soil. The pods take a bit longer to mature, rewarding patient growers with an intense and flavorful harvest.

Caution:
Gloves are strongly recommended when handling the 7 Pot Chocolate Primo due to its extreme heat. Avoid contact with the eyes or face, as the capsaicin can cause severe irritation. Cooking with this pepper should be done in a well-ventilated area, as the fumes can be quite potent.

Fun Fact:
The 7 Pot Chocolate Primo is named after the 7 Pot peppers, which are said to be hot enough to spice up seven pots of stew. The chocolate variety is particularly prized for its complex flavor, making it a favorite among chili enthusiasts who appreciate both taste and heat.
