Goat Weed

The Goat Weed pepper (Capsicum annuum), also known as the Black Cobra pepper, is an ornamental chili prized for its stunning foliage and dramatic color-changing pods. It is native to Venezuela and is a prolific, heat-tolerant producer.

• Flavor: Often described as having a biting, somewhat bitter flavor with notes of black pepper or herbs. It is not known for its complex flavor profile, as it is primarily bred for its striking ornamental appeal.
• Heat: Medium-high to hot, with a heat level ranging from 20,000 to 40,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), similar to a standard cayenne pepper.
• Origin: An heirloom variety originally from Venezuela.
• Appearance: Its most distinctive features are its fuzzy silver hairs on the leaves and stems and its dramatic pod ripening. The 2–3-inch pods grow upright and change color from a light green to a deep, glossy black and finally to a brilliant red when mature. All three colors can be present on the plant at the same time.
• Culinary Uses: While primarily ornamental, the heat of the pods makes them suitable for adding a kick to dishes. They can be used fresh in sauces and marinades, but their flavor is best concentrated when dried and made into chili flakes or powder.
