Giant Chocolate Orion #82

Giant Chocolate Orion

The Giant Chocolate Orion is a bold and unpredictable pepper variety, still in its second filial generation (F2). Because the genetics are not yet stable, growers should expect variation in pod size, shape, color, heat level, flavor, and plant characteristics. Thought to be a cross involving a superhot chocolate strain—possibly 7 Pot or Reaper lineage—this pepper produces massive, gnarly pods with a rich brown hue and intense, smoky flavor. Heat levels can range widely but often fall between 800,000 to over 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it ideal for hot sauces, dark chili pastes, and spiced oils. As a developing F2 variety, it is especially appealing to experienced growers who enjoy phenotype hunting and selecting standout traits for future grows.
