Exotic and rare, the Purple Tiger Pepper draws you to its lair with foliage in variegated colors of white, green, and purple. Slowly, slowly you’re mesmerized by the 1"-2" tapered fruit that starts off green, creeping to purple with a lighter, rosy striped pattern that ripens fully to red. And then it pounces with a low growl of heat, twice as hot a jalapeño. Stuff with cream cheese for some purple poppers, or pickle a peck of them to sprinkle on nachos.

Hunting for a heat that roars? Try the Chocolate Habanero Pepper.
