Yellow Brain Strain / Yellow 7 Pot - This pepper is extremely hot and rivals some of the hottest peppers in the world. It looks like a brain because of its lumpy appearance, but brain strain is actually what happens when you eat it!

A unique pepper with pods 2-1/2” long and 2-1/2” wide with crinkled yellow skin. It has a pineapple-like fruity taste and a whole lot of heat. Plants grow to 3’ tall and produce fruit all season. Capsicum chinense (110 days)

Warning: Handling this pepper requires extreme caution. Wear hand, eye and breathing protection. These peppers are great to add to salsa recipes or to make hot sauce - just add the amount desired to get the spicy kick you like.

Heat Level: Reckless. Scoville Heat Units 1,600,000

~ Packet contains 10 seeds.

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 36” apart or into large 5 gallon containers. Harvest when full size.

All of our seeds are GMO-free.

Thank you

92% Germination rate.

Purchased 10 seeds, received 12, 11 germinated.

These are some fine growing peppers. Nearly all of them sprouted within eight days of planting and are growing at a steady pace. All are developing solid leaves and should be ready for transplanting out of the seed tray in the next couple of days (today is 25 days after planting). I can't say the same about some of my other peppers...Yes, I am looking at you, Dragon's Breath...slow poke.

Avg days to sprout: 8.0
First sprout day: 6
Last sprout day: 11

Growing media: Miracle Gro seed starting mix.
Growing temp: 81-84 (thermometer in dirt).
Fertilizer: Miracle Gro at seedling strength, after first true leaves emerged.

Favorite Hot Pepper

Really fruity flavor and plenty of heat. We found it’s great to put a little bit on fish filets with lemon and dill.

Wicked Hot Pepper!

A beast of heat.... one of the hottest things I've ever ingested. Makes a great hot sauce.

We love the Brain Strain!!

These are quite unique looking peppers, and they make a killer hot sauce. Good seeds, good germination rate. Thank you!

Absolutely outstanding 🔥

Absolutely outstanding🔥😋 I’m so happy to discover these Yellow Brain Strain hot pepper seeds. I had almost every seed sprout, so I had lots of extra plants since I started ordering your seeds. Great harvest, the peppers are brilliant yellow and easy to spot when ripe. I made lots of hot sauce out of them. I will be ordering from you for many years to come!

Fantastic! I will be ordering from Sandiaseed from now on.

Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.

Sun Gold F1 Tomato Seeds

I grow these for habanero hot sauce

I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.

Like flowers!

These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.

Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds

Great germination rate!

These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!

Big Jim Chiles

Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
