The listing, RARE Organic Red Devils Tongue Peppers *HOT* has ended.
I was given these seeds from a friend. I really should do more research on them. I made some salsa thinking that these could not be that hot as I am not supposed to have spicy food. After my first bite I decided to look up these peppers... Holy cow. Known as the 7th hottest pepper in the world, 325,000 on the Scoville scale.
