Moruga Red (CARDI) Pod Test

Pod test of my first ripe Moruga Red CARDI. This isn't a Moruga Scorpion. The Moruga Red are more like a Habanero/Scotch Bonnet type. This came from the seed Juanitos purchased from CARDI. The pod size is a little smaller than some pics I've seen but I think it's from being an early pod. The plant is still relatively small, maybe 18" now. The flavor was great, very mild and slightly sweet, around hab level heat. I think these get hotter though, will report back as the plant progresses in the season.

As always great review.This one looks to be a very nice everyday type pepper.
Thanks mpicante! Yes, I can see a lot of uses for this, either by itself or combined with other peppers. Hopefully I'll have a good yield to experiment with.
