Description
7 Pot Brain Strain Chilli is one of the most formidable members of the 7 Pot family — blisteringly hot yet surprisingly flavourful. Originating from Trinidad, this variety earns its name from the brain-like texture of its pods and its ability to add serious fire to any dish. Beneath the extreme heat lies a rich, fruity flavour with subtle floral notes and a deep, tropical warmth.
In whole dried form, the 7 Pot Brain Strain is ideal for creating intense hot sauces, fiery marinades, or chilli oils. Rehydrate the pods to unleash their bold aroma and full-bodied taste, or use sparingly to infuse depth and complexity into curries and stews. Just one pod can season multiple servings — handle with respect.
A chilli for the true heat enthusiast, the 7 Pot Brain Strain combines power, flavour, and Caribbean heritage in every fiery bite.
