Malaysian Goronong is a rare and exceptional find — a fruity, high-heat Capsicum chinense variety from Asia, where chinense peppers are exceptionally uncommon. Wrinkled and twisted pods grow up to 3½ inches long and ripen to a bright yellow, delivering both a tropical fruity aroma and habanero-level heat. Open-pollinated and highly sought after by rare pepper collectors and growers looking for something truly different.
