The Black Prince Pepper is tiny, actually one of the smallest hot peppers in size.Don't let it fool you - the Black Prince boasts a beautiful flavor and heat, around 5,000-30,000 on the Scoville scale.The plant itself is truly beautiful as most ornamental pepper plants, bred to enhance visual beauty.Still - the Prince is about 15X hotter than your average jalapeno.
Originating from Mexico, these Black Pearl shaped vegetables are similar to the Black Pearl Hot Pepper, yet cross bred with more variation.The peppers begin as a deep dark Purple/Black shade.As they age, Princes grow a hinted hue of Green before ripening Red (if you are familiar with the Black Pearl and/or Count Dracula Peppers expect a similar lifecycle and pace of change in color).
