Fatalii Red Seeds

Name: Fatalii Red
Background:
The Fatalii Red is a rare and fiery variant of the original Fatalii pepper, which is believed to have originated in Central Africa. Known for its intense heat and citrusy flavor, the Fatalii Red offers a unique twist with its vibrant red color. It is popular among chili enthusiasts for both its bold flavor and impressive heat, making it a versatile choice in the kitchen.
Characteristics:
Appearance:
The Fatalii Red has a slender, elongated shape with a slightly wrinkled surface. When fully ripe, it turns a bright, fiery red, adding a striking splash of color to any garden. Its shape is reminiscent of the traditional yellow Fatalii, with a tapered end and a smooth, glossy finish.
Heat Level:
The Fatalii Red ranges between 125,000 and 325,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it extremely hot and comparable to the Habanero. Its heat is intense and immediate, providing a quick burn that doesn’t linger as long as some super-hots, but is still formidable.
Size:
The pods are generally 2 to 3 inches long and about an inch wide. Their elongated shape makes them easy to slice and add to dishes, especially salsas and sauces.
Taste Profile:
The Fatalii Red has a fruity, citrus-like flavor with hints of lemon and a touch of sweetness. Its bright and tangy notes complement the heat, making it ideal for tropical and savory dishes alike.
Culinary Uses:
The Fatalii Red is perfect for making hot sauces, salsas, and marinades. Its citrusy flavor pairs well with seafood, chicken, and tropical fruits, adding both heat and a refreshing tang to recipes. It can also be used to create flavorful pepper powders and spicy relishes.
Growing Notes:
The Fatalii Red plant grows to about 2 to 3 feet tall and produces an abundant yield of red pods. It thrives in warm climates with full sun and well-draining soil. This variety matures relatively quickly, often producing ripe pods in as little as 90 days, making it popular among home gardeners.
Caution:
Though not as hot as super-hot varieties, the Fatalii Red still packs a punch, so gloves are recommended when handling it to avoid skin irritation. Be careful not to touch your face or eyes after handling.
Fun Fact:
The Fatalii Red is known for its rapid onset of heat, which quickly builds and then fades, allowing the fruity, citrusy flavor to shine through. This makes it a favorite among those who love spicy foods with a complex taste.
