We grow this pepper most years. Harvest the peppers and dry them thoroughly before grinding in a spice mill to make our own Cayenne Pepper. Store in airtight jars.
Introducing the classic Cayenne Pepper, a plant that not only delivers elegant hot peppers but also enhances any dish with an extra kick of heat. Known for its versatility, the Cayenne Pepper boasts a moderate heat level ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
The plant features an upright habit, producing an abundance of fruit that may require staking to prevent it from falling over. While the green peppers are usable, the true magic happens when they transform into fiery red, especially if you’re planning on drying them. The Cayenne Pepper plant adapts well to both pot and ground cultivation, but for optimal results in certain climates, a greenhouse or polytunnel is recommended.
This hardy and bug-resistant plant proves to be an excellent keeper when dried, making it a convenient addition to your culinary arsenal. Whether ground for cayenne pepper, added to dishes for an extra kick, or used to spice up a Bloody Mary or vodka, the classic Cayenne Pepper is a go-to choice for those seeking both elegance and heat in their culinary creations.
Elevate your dishes with the timeless appeal and fiery warmth of the Cayenne Pepper, a staple in kitchens worldwide, and discover the countless ways it can enhance your culinary experience.
