                                While ornamental, the Midnight Fire pepper is technically an edible member of the *Capsicum annuum* family, but with significant risks. Many commercially-sold ornamental peppers, including the stunning Midnight Fire, are treated with pesticides not intended for human consumption, making them unsafe to eat unless you've grown them yourself under controlled conditions.
