The Borg 9 Chocolate is a formidable superhot chilli variety, renowned for its intense heat and complex flavour profile. Its pods are deeply wrinkled, maturing from green to a rich chocolate brown, and often feature distinctive ‘stinger’ tails. With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating exceeding 1,000,000, this Capsicum chinense variety delivers a fruity, slightly floral taste with earthy undertones, swiftly followed by a powerful, lingering heat. Cultivated by Jon Harper in the UK, the Borg 9 Chocolate is a cross between the 7 Pot Bubblegum and the Naglah, making it a prized choice for crafting fiery hot sauces and adding a potent kick to salsas.
