The Filius Blue has a fascinating secret: its heat changes with its color! The beautiful purple peppers pack a surprising cayenne-level kick. As they ripen to red, they perform a magic trick, losing nearly all their heat to become delightfully sweet. This “split personality” makes the Filius Blue not just a feast for the eyes, but a versatile and fun addition to the kitchen.
