About Mad Hatter
Mad Hatter is whimsical pepper with UFO/flying saucer shape similar to Bishop’s Crown. Rating 500-1,000 SHU, it’s nearly sweet with just hint of warmth. The unusual flattened shape makes them perfect for stuffing. C. baccatum heritage provides fruity, complex flavor. Excellent fresh in salads where shape is showcased. Can be eaten like candy due to minimal heat. Very productive plants produce dozens of unique fruits. Kids love the unusual shape. A gateway pepper for heat-sensitive palates who want interesting flavors.
