The Sweet Moruga Pepper, known for its fruity, Chinense flavor but without the burning heat, is becoming a favorite among chili enthusiasts. This pepper is a variant of the Moruga Scorpion and is celebrated not just for its gorgeous looks but also for its sweet undertones and mild/medium heat without the burn. A very high yielder.
When you taste the Sweet Moruga Pepper, you’ll notice a delightful balance between sweetness and minor Jalapeno-level spiciness. This makes it a versatile ingredient in sauces, marinades, and even desserts.
Start the seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date. When transplanting outdoors, ensure they are given plenty of sunlight and warm temperatures.
