Seeds - SBS Demon Chocolate Habanero

The SBS Demon Chocolate Habanero, also known as SBS Chocolate Demon, is a highly productive Australian Capsicum chinense hybrid developed from a cross between the SBS Demon and Guadalupe Habanero. Unlike many chocolate-coloured chillies that lean heavily earthy or smoky, this variety is prized for its exceptionally bright fruit-forward flavour profile.

Pods ripen from vibrant green to a deep glossy mahogany-chocolate brown and develop small to medium wrinkled lantern-shaped forms typical of Habanero varieties. Heat levels commonly range between 300,000 and 500,000 Scoville Heat Units, delivering a strong lingering burn while remaining within the upper Habanero heat range.

The flavour profile is intensely fruity, sharp, slightly floral, and surprisingly clean for a chocolate variety, lacking much of the bitterness or heavy smokiness often associated with dark peppers. This makes the SBS Demon Chocolate Habanero especially sought after for vibrant hot sauces, marinades, fresh salsas, and chilli products where rich colour is desired without overpowering smoky flavours.

The plants are compact, bushy, and highly productive, making them well suited to containers, raised beds, and heavy yielding home gardens.
