MA Daisy Cutter Yellow - 10 seeds

MA Daisy Cutter Yellow is one of Matthew Arthur's successful selections. The characteristic, heavily wrinkled fruits are reminiscent of MA Wartryx in shape and are among the extremely hot yellow peppers.

Despite its extreme pungency, the variety is also valued for its taste – we emphasize its fruity-citrus nuances . The plants reach 90–120 cm , which allows them to be grown both in a greenhouse and in a suitably warm place outdoors.

🔥 Anger

800,000–1,000,000 SHU

This is an extremely hot pepper , intended for people experienced with superhot varieties. We rank it significantly above the Habanero types in spiciness, but below the red Ghost Peppers .

⚠️ Caution: When handling fruits with similar concentrations of capsaicin, wear protective gloves. Avoid contact with eyes, face, and sensitive skin.

🍴 Culinary app

Thanks to the combination of extreme pungency and fruity-citrus aroma , MA Daisy Cutter Yellow is suitable for:

• Super hot sauces
• Spicy marinades
• Hot pastes
• Drying and grinding
• Preparation of hot spices
• Recipes that require a minimal amount of pepper

At 800,000–1,000,000 SHU , a very small amount is needed to achieve very high spiciness.

💡 Tip from Urban Botaniks: With this variety, I would emphasize mostly the combination of 800,000–1,000,000 SHU and a fruity-citrus flavor . It is the flavor profile that distinguishes the MA Daisy Cutter Yellow from peppers whose main characteristic is only extreme spiciness.
