Appearance:
The Fatalii Yellow has a slender, elongated shape with a slightly wrinkled texture. It ripens to a brilliant yellow color, adding a cheerful splash of brightness to any garden or dish. Its shape is similar to a typical Habanero, but with a longer, tapered body that ends in a pointed tip.
Heat Level:
The Fatalii Yellow ranges between 125,000 and 325,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), putting it in the same range as the Habanero. The heat comes on quickly and is intense but typically fades sooner than some other super-hot varieties, allowing its fruity flavor to stand out.

Culinary Uses:
The Fatalii Yellow is perfect for making hot sauces, salsas, and spicy marinades. Its lemony flavor pairs well with seafood, chicken, and tropical fruits, adding a refreshing twist to dishes. It can also be used to make chili powders and pepper flakes that bring both heat and a zesty flavor to recipes.
Growing Notes:
The Fatalii Yellow plant grows to about 2 to 3 feet tall and is known for its high productivity. It thrives in warm climates with full sunlight and well-draining soil. This variety is relatively quick to mature, often producing ripe pods within 90 days, making it a favorite among home growers.
Caution:
Though not as intense as the super-hot varieties, the Fatalii Yellow still has considerable heat. Gloves are recommended when handling it to prevent skin irritation, and care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes and face.
Fun Fact:
