Created by crossing the White 7 Pot Bubblegum and Peach Ghost pepper, the Peach Bubblegum Bhut Jolokia pepper is a very rare pepper that is considered a superhot. It is extremely unique because of the bleeding of peach color that moves from the pepper through the stem. Unlike the 7 Pot Bubblegum varieties, this particular variety produces pods that have the look of a Peach Ghost (Bhut Jolokia) pepper. The exotic appearance of the color bleeding up the stem along with the extreme heat level has resulted in Bubblegum peppers surging in popularity.
The Peach Bubblegum Bhut Jolokia’s flavor is fruity, sweet, and slightly citrusy, but its extreme heat comes on fast. Once the pod has ripened to peach, the stem will start to turn peach as well. The Peach Bubblegum Bhut Jolokia pepper’s heat is somewhat similar to that of the Ghost pepper as it averages about 800,000 to 1,100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
