Dragon’s Breath Golden (Capsicum chinense) is a new selection of the well-known Dragon’s Breath, distinguished by its exceptional golden colour when ripe. It retains the characteristic shape but combines it with a fruity aroma and striking golden ripening.
Plants were selected for consistent characteristics, seeking to preserve the original fruit shape while introducing a golden finish.
All photos in this listing are real, taken directly from plants of this selection; they are not stock images or photos taken from the internet.
A member of the super-hot group, Dragon’s Breath Golden has extreme heat.
Dragon’s Breath has been associated with approximately 2.4 million SHU. Values can differ between plants, however, and no official laboratory measurement establishes an exact SHU for this golden selection.
Its Capsicum chinense flavour may show fruity and slightly sweet notes, but the powerful burn rapidly dominates.
The fruits have the typical Dragon’s Breath shape, an irregular, wrinkled surface and the appearance of a super-hot pepper. Their defining feature is the intense golden colour when mature, unlike the classic red form.
Because of its extreme heat, eating it raw or in large amounts is not recommended. It is especially suited to extremely hot sauces, where tiny quantities can deliver considerable heat.
It also appeals to collectors and growers of rare peppers. Wear gloves and, when processing large quantities, eye and respiratory protection.
