Capsicum chinense
ChiliCodexCDP.copy.heroTitle
Komodo Dragon peppers lure you with fruity perfume, then strike with brutal heat. Bred in the UK, they reached supermarkets as “Tesco’s hottest chili.” Pods are wrinkled, bright red, and similar to scorpions. Flavor hints at berry and floral tones before a surge above 1.4 million SHU. The burn builds slowly, then roars forward, lingering for minutes. Makers use the pepper in extreme sauces, dried powders, and novelty snacks. Crossing this dragon requires respect - certified by the Ministry of Mythic Heat. ChiliCodexCDP.copy.rangeSentenceWithHeat Występuje w United Kingdom (bred), inspired by Indonesian heat w przyprawach, marynatach i zalewach. Use tiny amounts in hot sauce mash, chili pastes, and infused oils. Blend with fruit like mango or peach to balance the burn. Dehydrate slices for powder, but grind outdoors to avoid fumes. Add slivers to large pots of stew or chili, ensuring even distribution. Always label containers to prevent accidents. ChiliCodexCDP.navigation.seeSauceIndex

Historia i kultura
UK growers at Salvatore Genovese’s farm bred the Komodo Dragon by crossing superhot Capsicum chinense varieties. Launched commercially in 2015, it briefly held the title of the hottest chili sold in British supermarkets. Though not a Guinness record holder, Komodo Dragon fueled public fascination with superhots and inspired new hybrids. Seeds now circulate among hobbyists worldwide.
Botanika i uwagi dotyczące uprawy
▼
Grow Komodo Dragon like other superhots: start seeds indoors 12 weeks before planting, using bottom heat near 30°C. Transplant into full sun when soil stays above 18°C. Plants reach 1 meter tall and require staking. Provide rich soil, regular feeding, and high humidity. Expect 120 to 150 days to ripeness. Greenhouse or indoor grow tents help maintain consistent warmth.

Wear nitrile gloves, goggles, and consider a respirator when handling Komodo Dragon peppers. Work with ventilation, and keep dairy or sugar solutions nearby. If capsaicin contacts skin, wash immediately with soap and oil. Seek medical care for eye or respiratory exposure.
