🔥 Heat

⚠️ When handling ripe fruits, using gloves and avoiding contact with the eyes and sensitive skin is recommended.

🌱 Sowing and growing

Sowing: January – April
Location: indoors
Germination temperature: 20–30°C

Pruning: may be used to form a compact plant.

In autumn, the plants can be moved into pots and brought indoors. On a bright windowsill, they can continue fruiting after the outdoor season ends.

🍴 Culinary use

The combination of intense heat and lemon aroma makes Lemon Colormix especially suitable for hot sauces, salsa, spicy marinades, Caribbean and Asian recipes, as well as drying and making an aromatic hot seasoning.

Because of the high 150 000–400 000 SHU, a relatively small amount is needed to add both intense heat and citrus character.

💡 Tip from Urban Botaniks: With Lemon Colormix, we would highlight two characteristics that truly set this product apart – the lemon aroma and variety of colours. They make this mix far more interesting than a standard super-hot pepper, while the 150 000–400 000 SHU range adds serious heat for experienced chilli lovers.
