About Peruvian White Lightning Pepper
The Peruvian White Lightning pepper is a rare and exotic chili pepper that hails from the Andes mountains of Peru. This small, white pepper packs a surprising punch with its intense heat and unique flavor.
The pepper has a slightly wrinkled and bumpy skin, with a pale ivory color when mature. It typically measures about 1-2 inches in length and is shaped like a small lantern or bell. The flesh inside the pepper is thick and juicy and has a crisp texture.
The heat level of the Peruvian White Lightning pepper is intense, measuring between 100,000-250,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. Its heat is comparable to that of a habanero pepper, making it one of the hottest peppers in the world.
Despite its high heat level, the Peruvian White Lightning pepper also has a unique flavor profile that sets it apart from other hot peppers. It has a slightly floral aroma and a taste that is both sweet and fruity, with notes of citrus and pineapple.
