Chilli Cayenne

Chilli Cayenne is one of the best known hot chilli peppers  that always performs well and dries nicely. It produces an abundance of very wrinkled fruits that grow 12 to 15cm long.

The fruits have thin flesh and are used fresh in hot sauces or dried and ground for cayenne pepper.

A very productive plant, upright-growing and reaching about 60cm in height.

The plants are covered with long, thin peppers which mature from emerald green to a scarlet red in approximately 90 days.

At a heat level of around 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, they are one of the best peppers for seasoning pickles and salsa.

Good for deep freezing and perfect for adding a kick to a Bloody Mary or to vodka.
