Hot Lemon is an extraordinary, high-yielding chili variety prized for its distinct citrus aroma. The compact plants are perfect for pot cultivation. The 6–10 cm long, slightly wrinkled fruits mature from green to a vibrant yellow. Their flavor evokes lemongrass and citric fruits, paired with a heat level of 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville (SHU). It adds a unique touch to salsas, stews, and even baked goods, and is also excellent for drying.
