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.

92% Germination rate.

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!

Jalapeño M

I pretty much use Sandia seeds exclusively! A few years ago I just happened to order your Jalapeño M. To me it's the perfect Jalapeño! Really nice size! Perfect heat for what we like! Wonderful flavor with a meatyness that's perfect for many different uses! I make my own Sriracha so I wait for them to turn red. They're one of my base peppers for my sauce! I praise them to all my personal friends and to members of groups that I belong to!

Española Improved NuMex Chile Seeds - Robust Flavor and Early Maturity

Dynamite xx Hot peppers, 4 heat lovers only!

I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,

Dynamite Green Chile Seeds - Extra Hot Variety at 12,000 Scoville

Prolific Peppers!

There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!

Tasty and prolific

This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.

Awesome peppers!

This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.

Wow! BIG JIM PEPPERS

Growing these in Florida, (Recent transplant of NM).
Lovely peppers. Took a couple weeks is all and wow! I have several budding; 2 large enough to nickname. They're still in their infancy, but I can tell they are going to be great! Love the seeds!

Jalapeno to Chipotle

I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.
