Bulgarian Carrot Pepper – A SPICY and Delicious Chili

Letter B of the Alphabet of Heat

The Bulgarian Carrot is one of the spiciest annuum peppers in my opinion. It has beautiful bright orange fruits that look an awful lot like baby carrots. The plants are fast growing and will produce a lot of peppers if well cared for. Ripening time on the fruits can be slow but you can usually expect to get 2 strong flushes of peppers each season.

Pepper Facts:

Species: Capsicum Annuum
Origin: Bulgaria
Heat: 30,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU)
Plant Size: 1.5 – 2.5 feet
Fruit: 2 – 4 inches long, .5 – 1 inches diameter

Tasting Notes:

A quite hot spicy pepper with crunchy medium walls. Slightly grassy flavored with a plum sweetness and a small bit of bitterness in the finish. Sharp burn profile with nearly instant heat.
