The Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum is one of the hottest peppers in the world. Created by crossing the Yellow 7 Pot and the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum pepper is extremely unique because of the bleeding of yellow color that moves from the pepper itself through the stem. The exotic appearance of the color bleeding up the stem along with the extreme heat level has resulted in the Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum pepper surging in popularity. Similar to other superhot peppers, the Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum’s flavor is fruity and sweet, but its extreme heat comes on fast. Once the pod has matured to yellow, the stem tends to linger at a yellow color. The Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum pepper has an appearance similar to that of the 7 Pot pepper. Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum peppers grow to be about the size of a golf ball.
The Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum pepper’s heat is similar to that of the Ghost pepper as it ranges from 850,000 to 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Although the Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum is considered a superhot pepper, it still ranks behind the Carolina Reaper pepper, as well as its close relatives, the Trinidad Scorpion pepper and the Trinidad 7 Pot pepper.
