Rocalba vegetable seeds - Cayenne Hot Pepper (25 seeds)

The Cayenne hot pepper owes its name to the French Guiana city of Cayenne, where it originates from. That was where, by the Incas, the first crops of what they called Axi were made 7000 years ago.

The image of the Cayenne is very appetizing. The elongated and round fruits, when ripe, change from a light green color to an intense blood red. You could say that they have the shape that we imagine when we think of a hot pepper. It is easy for the beautiful and appetizing shape of its fruits to deceive, giving the sensation of being harmless, but nothing is further from the truth; They house a powerful spiciness that ranges between 30,000 and 50,000 UCS (Scoville Heat Units), which places them at the same level as Tabasco and about 10 times the spiciness of a jalapeño.

Growing Cayenne

One of the reasons for its widespread use is the different formats in which it is used. Its most frequent use is usually in powder form. The hot peppers are tied on a string and hung to dry in a dark, cool, dry place. They are then ground until the desired texture is obtained. In this way, cayenne can be added to a large number of dishes as a seasoning. Although it is usually used with savory dishes, it is surprising to try it as a condiment in sweet dishes such as biscuits or cakes.

To grow Cayenne, the only essential thing to know is its resistance to frost and cold, so it is advisable to plant it two weeks after the tomato seeds. Also, coming from a tropical zone, it has a great demand for irrigation. Apart from this, the cultivation of hot peppers is not far from that of any other vegetable such as tomatoes.
