Experience the stunning visual transformation of Dark Rios De Lavas hot peppers. Ripening from a striking dark purple or black hue to a fiery red adorned with purple splotches, they are a treat for the eyes—and the taste buds.
The Dark Rios De Lavas produces elongated, narrow-shaped pods, adding an elegant touch, reminiscent of Thai peppers.
