🌶️ 7 Pot Bubblegum White – An ivory-white superhot with a surprising appearance!

The 7 Pot Bubblegum White (Capsicum chinense) is a special, extremely hot chili pepper from the well-known 7 Pot Bubblegum family. This variety stands out for its striking cream-to-ivory fruits and thus forms a beautiful alternative to the classic red superhots.

The 7 Pot Bubblegum family is known for its extreme spiciness and the special feature where in some variants the color of the ripe fruit extends into the shell and sometimes even part of the fruit pulp.

The 7 Pot Bubblegum White Produces compact, oblong to slightly irregular-shaped fruits with a slightly wrinkled and pleated peel. During ripening, the fruits turn from light green to a beautiful cream-to ivory-colored color, sometimes with a soft yellowish tint.

In our own cultivation, we have found that the fruits retain their characteristic ivory-white color even when fully ripe. Even after they continued to hang on to the plant for several more weeks, no further color change occurred.

Their distinctive appearance makes this pepper a real eye-catcher in any collection of superhots.

But don't be fooled by that soft, almost innocent color! Behind that distinctive appearance lies an extremely hot chili pepper with intense and long-lasting heat.

The fruits have a fruity aroma that is characteristic of many Capsicum chinense-varieties. They are especially interesting for experienced pepper lovers who like to experiment with extremely hot sauces, chili powders and other spicy preparations.
