“The Green Bite”

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

Heat and Flavor

Lab-tested at 174,591 SHU, this batch sits close to 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.
