About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will find this variety behind the Cayenne pepper on the spice shelf, a reliable all‑rounder for your home garden. The long slender pods ripen from green to red and are especially good for drying and grinding. They are vigorous, productive, and also thrive in a large pot on your terrace.
When dried and ground, it gives you a consistently sharp, clean powder without intrusive side flavours. Fresh, it fits into any sauce that needs a bit of fire.
