Fresh 7 Pot Defcon Peppers (5-Pack)

If you’re searching for a pepper that pushes the limits of heat, the 7 Pot Defcon delivers. This rare superhot is known for its rugged, deeply wrinkled pods, rich reddish-caramel color, and blistering capsaicin content. While many peppers balance heat with sweetness, the Defcon was bred with one mission in mind: uncompromising fire.

Expect a brief hint of classic 7 Pot fruitiness before an intense, long-lasting burn takes over. This is a pepper best suited for making ultra-hot sauces, powders, flakes, or adding microscopic amounts to chili, stews, and other recipes where maximum heat is the goal. The 7 Pot Defcon is widely regarded as one of the hottest members of the 7 Pot family, commonly estimated in the 1.2–1.5 million SHU range.
