"The Green Bite"

Gator Jigsaw brings an unmistakable mustard-green look and sweet, fruity character to a single-pepper limited edition. These big, irregular pods are distinctive before the first taste. This is pure Gator Jigsaw, not the Atomic Gator blend.

Heat and Flavor

Every harvest is lab-tested by HPLC; the result for the harvest you are viewing is shown above. Gator Jigsaw lands in the Hot tier, in the same territory as No. 4 Habanero in the SpiceQuest Pro Kit. Sweet, fruity pepper flavor gives it a place at the table beyond sheer heat. Start with a small amount and build to taste.

The Pepper

Gator Jigsaw is a Capsicum chinense variety known for large, irregular pods that mature to a yellowish-green or mustard tone. That green appearance is part of its character, not a reason to assume the pepper is unripe. It was bred by Italian master breeder Rocco Maltesi and helped define the mustard superhot phenotype.
