The Cheongyang chili pepper (Korean: 청양고추) is a medium-sized chili cultivar of the species Capsicum annuum, with intensity of 10,000 Scoville heat units.[1] Cheongyang chili peppers look similar to regular Korean chili peppers, but are many times spicier.
It was named after Cheongsong and Yeongyang Counties when developed by Yoo Il-Woong, by hybridizing local Jeju Province chili with Thai chili.[2] The fruits can be light purple or green when unripe, and darken to a deep red as they ripen. The peppers retain their dark red color when dried.[3] The rights of the pepper were later sold to Monsanto.[4]
