💡 Tip from Urban Botaniks: Pumpkin Chili is a great choice when you're looking for a pepper that's both delicious and visually unusual . We wouldn't put too much emphasis on the exact Scoville value, as Vreeken's itself lists it as an approximation. The variety's stronger side is the combination of pumpkin-like shape, sweet-fruity flavor, and slight spiciness .
