Loved by Chefs
The KSLS (Khang Starr Lemon Starburst) pepper is a hybrid created by popular YouTube pepper grower Khang Starr. It is a cross between a Scotch Bonnet MOA and a Bahamian Goat pepper, both known for their fruitiness and heat.
- Species: Capsicum chinense.
- Flavor: Exceptionally fruity and citrusy, with a distinct, bright lemon flavor and aroma. It has a pronounced sweetness that complements its heat.
- Heat: Moderate to high heat, generally considered to be in the habanero or scotch bonnet range, approximately 100,000 to 200,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The burn is typically described as clean and manageable, focusing on the tongue.
- Origin: Created in the United States by Khang Starr around 2016.
- Appearance: Distinctive "flying saucer" or "UFO" shape with a flattened, scotch bonnet-like body and sometimes a small, pointed stinger at the bottom. The pods ripen to a vibrant lemon-yellow.

Culinary Uses:
- Hot Sauces: The excellent flavor profile makes it a popular choice for crafting unique, fruit-based hot sauces.
- Seasoning: Can be dried and ground into a high-quality chili powder or flakes.
- Salsas and Marinades: Works well fresh in salsas and marinades to add a flavorful, citrusy heat.
- Snacking and Fresh Use: Can be eaten raw, providing a burst of fruity flavor.
