Cross section of a white 7 Pot pepper

[dvg]

Here is a cross section of a white 7 Pot pepper that my friend from Georgia grew in his garden.

You can see the yellow capsaicin oils in stark contrast to the white flesh of the pepper.

7 Pot peppers originate from Trinidad and are so named because one of these peppers was hot enough to heat up 7 Pots of stew, which is possible because these peppers can easily test out at over 1 million SHU's (Scoville heat units).

Probably safe to take pics of that behind asbestos shielding and 3 panes of heat tempered glass!
