Congo Yellow Trinidad – (Capsicum chinense)
Congo Yellow Trinidad is a larger, meatier habanero-type from Trinidad, producing big golden-yellow pods that may turn slightly orange when fully mature. The fruits have thick walls, deep folds, and a glossy finish, making them stand out among other chinense varieties. The flavor is fruity with a light smoky note, followed by a quick-building habanero-style burn that settles in the 150,000–300,000 SHU range. Plants grow tall and vigorous—often over a meter—and produce heavily throughout the season, sometimes needing support from the sheer pod load. A versatile pepper with great yield, bold flavor, and dependable heat—excellent for sauces, salsas, or cooking.
Heat level: 200,000 to 300,000(SHU) Scoville Heat Units – Hot.
Flavor: Fruity with a slight Smokiness.
