Long Red Cayenne Pepper

Long Red Cayenne Pepper. Heirloom vegetable. With 9,000 years of cultivation behind them, it is no wonder that there are a myriad of pepper varieties available to the home gardener – all have their origins in wild species native to Central and South America.

Long Red Cayenne is moderately hot. Plants produce thin, tapered, hot peppers about 12.5cm (6in) long and 1.25cm (1/2in) thick. The fruit is often curled and twisted and ripens to a green/crimson red.

Ideal for canning, pickling or drying! A very good all purpose hot chili. Suitable for use in eastern Asian cuisine. Scoville Heat Unit Rating - 4000.
