The Red 7 Pot Douglah was created by crossing the original 7 Pot Douglah and the Red Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper. This particular strain was created by Steve Bender at the Innovation Acre at Tyler Farms. The Red 7 Pot Douglah is similar in size to the Chocolate 7 Pot Douglah pepper, but the Chocolate Douglah has a higher heat level. Most people that have tried both the red and chocolate versions of the 7 Pot Douglah prefer the flavor profile of the Red 7 Pot Douglah.
It is believed that the Red Douglah is not quite as spicy at the original 7 Pot Douglah, which averages about 850,000 to 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units, but the red version has a tropical flavor with a fruitier finish. 7 Pot Douglah pepper plants, which typically grow to be about three to four feet tall, produce wrinkled peppers that are slightly smaller than tennis balls. 7 Pot peppers fall under the super hot category because of their very spicy heat level. It’s slightly hotter than the Red 7 Pot, making it one of the hottest peppers in the world, but not quite as hot as the Carolina Reaper or Trinidad Moruga Scorpion on the Scoville Heat Scale.
There are several different colored strains of 7 Pot peppers, including the Red 7 Pot, Yellow 7 Pot, White 7 Pot, Chocolate 7 Pot, 7 Pot Brain Strain, and 7 Pot Primo. The 7 Pot pepper is related to the Trinidad Scorpion pepper, one of the hottest peppers in the world.
