Bahamian goat pepper

Goat pepper is a hot pepper originating from the islands of the Bahamas. The peppers are round, starting out dark green and developing a peach-orange color once ripened. The shape is slightly squashed, with vertical ridges, looking visually similar to a small pumpkin.

The flavor is sweet and tropical, and the Scoville heat units range from 100,000 to 350,000. Some claim that the name is a reference to the spicy kick – it kicks as hard as a goat, while others claim that the aromas are goaty once the pepper has been cut open.
