The Purple Tiger pepper is a beautiful plant with green, white and purple variegated leaves. It grows well in small spaces as it is a compact plant that produces pods that start off green, then turn purple with amazing striping, and eventually ripen to red. The variety is one of a kind with a medium heat, even very enjoyable and to eat. The Purple Tiger pepper works well for a wide variety of culinary uses as the heat won’t overtake the flavor of the dish. The Purple Tiger pepper averages about 5,000 to 11,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
