With 4-5” long wrinkly purple pods, when at our preferred eating stage comes in at a 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale with Jalapenos being around 2,500-5,000 and habeneros being around 200,000 - 300,000, it provides a spicy kick for eating right off the plant or chopping into bits in your favorite salad.
