But its beauty isn’t just skin deep—this limited-edition pepper delivers a complex fruity sweetness, a whisper of floral notes, and a gentle yet satisfying heat.
A true collector’s chili, the Naga Smooky Rainbow is the perfect balance of bold visuals, flavorful depth, and approachable spice—making it an exciting addition for both chili-heads and culinary adventurers.

Very good and hot and full of flavor
Thank you for sharing, James. This is indeed a spectacular pepper. What's crazy is no one is even producing it this year, which means it's probably the last time anyone will see it. Sometimes that happens when a crossbreed is unstable. So enjoy it while it lasts :)
It’s good heat and smoky flavor to foods
