Fatalii Pepper

The Fatalii pepper is a type of chili pepper that is native to Central and Southern Africa. It is a medium-sized pepper that typically grows to be 2-3 inches long and 1-2 inches wide, with a distinctively wrinkled and thin skin. When fully ripe, the Fatalii pepper is a bright yellow color, and it has a strong, citrusy aroma.

The spiciness of the Fatalii pepper is quite high, ranging from 125,000 to 400,000 Scoville heat units, which is similar to other hot peppers like the habanero. However, the heat of the Fatalii pepper is often described as being more immediate and intense, with a sharp and searing quality that quickly dissipates.

Despite its high level of spiciness, the Fatalii pepper is also prized for its unique flavor profile. It has a bright and fruity taste with a hint of smokiness, which makes it a popular ingredient in hot sauces, marinades, and other spicy dishes. In addition to its culinary uses, the Fatalii pepper is also used in traditional medicine in some African cultures, where it is believed to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
