The Congo SR7 is a superhot chilli pepper renowned for its massive pods and intense heat, measuring approximately 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The pods mature from green to a vibrant red, reaching sizes up to 6–7 cm in length and 4 cm in width. They offer a juicy texture with a fruity flavour, making them ideal for creating fiery sauces and powders. This Capsicum chinense variety is highly productive, with plants growing up to 1 metre tall in pots and even larger when planted in the ground. Originating from Trinidad and Tobago, the Congo SR7 thrives in warm climates and typically fruits within 120–150 days from transplanting.
