This 3 inch pepper is a medium hot (15-30K on the Scoville Heat Unit scale)with a hint of citrus flavor. It is national favorite in Peru where it is used for all kinds of dishes but the best is a fermented hot sauce that will be your new favorite! The 3-foot tall Hot Lemon pepper plant heavily produces gorgeous, crinkly, thin-walled pods that will ripen from green to clear lemon yellow, and sometimes to dark purple blush.
