The Black Cherry Bomb pepper is a variety that was developed at Innovation Acre as a result of crossing the Red Cherry Bomb pepper and the Black Pearl. An ornamental pepper with a sweet flavor, the Black Cherry Bomb pepper starts off black and ripens to red when fully mature. Despite its intimidating name, the Black Cherry Bomb pepper only has a mild heat level as at averages about 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), which is similar to the Grande Jalapeno's heat level.
