Chilli Tabasco (Capsicum frutescens) is a famous variety of hot pepper, which is the main ingredient of the world-famous Tabasco sauce. It comes from Mexico, specifically from the state of Tabasco, and is valued for its distinctive hotness and fresh flavour.
Appearance and size: The plant has a bushy appearance and can grow up to 150 cm tall. The fruit grows upright, narrow, 3-5 cm long and changes colour from yellow to orange to deep red as it ripens.
Heat level and flavour: Tabasco peppers have a hotness in the range of 30 000-50 000 Scoville Units (SHU). Their flavour is both pungent and fresh, making them ideal for preparing spicy sauces and salsas.
Growing: This variety prefers a sunny location and well-drained soil. The ripening period is approximately 75 days from transplanting. The plants are relatively undemanding and have a high yield.
Use in the kitchen: They are the main ingredient in the popular Tabasco sauce, but you can also prepare your own version by mixing the peppers with vinegar and salt and then fermenting them. Pickled Tabasco peppers are great with meat dishes, tacos, burgers or in salads. Dried Tabasco peppers can be ground into a powder and used as a hot condiment to flavor soups, sauces or meat dishes.
For germination, maintain a temperature of 24 - 28 °C - germinates for 7 - 14 days
