Brown and Chocolate Peppers

Ripe pod color: Brown/Chocolate

Chocolate-brown peppers ripen with chlorophyll still in the wall, so the red carotenoids read as brown. Chocolate Habanero, Chocolate Bhutlah, 7 Pot Douglah and the brown Trinidad Scorpions are all this trait in C. chinense. The flavor tends earthier. The heat is not reduced.
