What’s quite unique about the Death Spiral’s looks is its color variations. But there’s often a stinger tail that certainly alerts you to the pain within (if the brain-like texture wasn’t enough.) Though, it’s like the Brain Strain melted and folded under the strength of its own capsaicin oils. The outside is twisted and pocked, featuring brain-like folds reminiscent of the 7-Pot Brain Strain. It’s one gnarly looking pepper, that’s for sure, in all the best ways. Use gloves, kitchen glasses, and other precautions to keep oils from this pepper off your skin. Note: This level of spiciness is significant, so any handling of Death Spiral peppers should be done with utmost care. If we use 1,400,000 SHU as the median heat, the Death Spiral pepper is between 175 and 560 times hotter than a jalapeño. Of course, compared to our jalapeño reference point, this is a no contest in the spiciness department. There’s little build up before the extreme heat lands. The burn hits the front of your mouth quickly, so there’s no doubt as to the spiciness held within. The Death Spiral lands somewhere on par with it, at least on the lower end of its heat range.Īnd the spiciness makes sense, as the Death Spiral is a hybrid of a Naga Bubblegum (over 1,000,000 SHU) and a Naga Viper (900,000 to 1,382,118 SHU.) It’s a child of extremes, and 100% a child who acts out in the brattiest of ways. It’s all over the place because, as a newer chili strain, it isn’t always consistent from seed to seed, in heat, looks, and flavor (as you’ll see.) What is known is this is one super-hot chili pepper that rivals the other hottest peppers in the world, even without the official title.įor instance, the Carolina Reaper’s range runs from 1,400,000 to 2,200,000 SHU. We’ll call it, 1,400,000 SHU for argument’s sake. Some say 1,300,000 Scoville heat units, others say 1,500,000 SHU or even higher. The panel is out on the Scoville heat range of this chili.
