Orange Biohazard
The Orange Biohazard is a superhot chili of the species C. chinense, measuring 800,000–1,200,000 SHU — roughly 150× hotter than a jalapeño. It belongs to C. chinense, the species behind the world's hottest peppers — the group that includes habaneros, Scotch bonnets, and ghost peppers, prized for fruity aroma and a slow, lingering burn. Its pods ripen orange, take a habanero-type form, measure 1–2 inches long, with medium thick flesh, and grow pendant on the plant. Immature pods are green/mustard before ripening. The plant grows to 30–36 inches tall. Its flowers are solid white/cream, its foliage is green leaves. Notable traits include wrinkled.
