Thunder Mountain Longhorn Pepper Seeds
Prepare to grow the most outrageously long and spectacular pepper you have ever seen. The Thunder Mountain Longhorn is a rare and revered heirloom from the Thunder Mountains of Guizhou, China, famous for producing unbelievably slender pods that can stretch to an astonishing 12, 18, or even 24 inches in length.
This isn't just a novelty; it's a culinary treasure. As these serpent-like peppers twist, curl, and ripen to a deep, brilliant red, they develop an incredible, smoky-sweet flavor that is far richer and more complex than a standard cayenne. The heat is a satisfying, solid kick that perfectly complements its amazing taste. The thin walls make these peppers exceptionally easy to dry, and their primary purpose is to be ground into one of the most aromatic and flavorful chili powders you will ever experience. For a true "bragging rights" pepper that delivers on both unbelievable looks and phenomenal flavor, nothing compares to the Thunder Mountain Longhorn.
