The KS Starrscream Chocolate pepper, developed by the renowned pepper grower Khang Starr, is a cross between KS Linzo Chocolate and KS White Thai. With the appearance reminiscent of a Chocolate Thai pepper, the KS Starrscream Chocolate has a flavor profile that blends the rich, earthy tones of the KS Linzo Chocolate with the subtle heat and complexity of the White Thai.
The high-yielding plants produce pods that about 1 inch in length and mature from green to a deep brown. Although it has not officially been tested on the Scoville Scale, the KS Starrscream Chocolate has a similar heat level as the Thai pepper, which averages 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units.
