Long Thin Red Cayenne is one of the best known hot chili peppers. It is a very productive plant that grows upright on a solid bush type habit and reaches about 45-66 cm (18-26") in height with a spread that reaches 40-45 cm (16-18”) wide. The plant produces high yields of thinly curved and straight emerald green peppers that mature into a wrinkled bright red fruit. Both green and red peppers are hot, although the red ones are going to be the hottest ones. Peppers average 10-15 cm (4-6") long, and 12 mm (½") wide at the shoulder. The thin skinned peppers are easily dried out on strings and processed into a powder when dry. Caution should be exercised with these peppers. (30,000-50,000 SHU)

Additional Information
Long Thin Red Cayenne peppers are considered ‘moderately hot’ with their 30,000-50,000 SHU rating. They are a very flavorful chili pepper with a good kick. When peppers are done growing they will pull off the plant very easily. If they don't come off easily they are still growing. Slice peppers up and freeze them in a container for use as fresh peppers on pizza, soups and salads or use a dehydrator and dry them. We freeze and dry all our peppers for a variety of uses. Harvesting “Hot Peppers” is task that is best completed wearing latex or rubber gloves to prevent any accidents. Hot peppers contain organic chemicals called capsaicinoids which can burn sensitive skin, your eyes, your mouth, and other sensitive areas. Use a good pair of scissors to cut the peppers from the bush. Picking them off usually will result in breaking off branches. To prolong a pepper harvest, cut peppers from the plant regularly. |
