7 Pod / 7 Pot Chilli Seeds
Currently one of the most sought after and difficult to obtain varieties.
The 7 Pod (sometimes called 7 Pot, as in 1 pod will spice seven pots of stew.) is a Chinense variety from Trinidad. This variety is matched for heat by just a small number of other Chinense varieties, namely the Bhut Jolokia, Bih Jolokia, the Naga Morich, and the Trinidad Scorpion
(see below). The texture of the pods is very different to your
average capsicum. Rather than the smooth, shiny surface of most peppers, the 7 pod has an almost paper-y texture and pods start lime green rather than the usual dark green. Seeds have been grown in Trinidad and not isolated so some cross pollination is possible and pure strain 7 pod cannot be guaranteed. Having said that, a 7 pod cross would be an even rarer pepper so don't let that put you off trying this great variety.
