About Death Spiral
Incredibly hot 2–3” fruits measuring 1,200,000–1,300,000 SHU are contorted and wrinkly with a spiraling bumpy ridge pattern. Before maturity, peppers go through pastel greens and peaches, then turn orange and finally red. Said to have a fruity citrus flavor, though how anyone could taste that through the burn is unclear. Developed in Great Britain by expert chili grower Terry Smith.
