Cayenne Long Red Thin Pepper Seeds
Cayenne Long Red Thin Pepper Seeds
Cayenne Long Red Thin (Capsicum annuum) pepper is prized for its intense heat, measuring between 30,000 to 50,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. These peppers develop into long, red, twisted fruits, reaching lengths of 5 to 6 inches. Ideal for drying and grinding into a fiery spice, Cayenne peppers pack a punch, typically boasting heat levels up to 12 times hotter than jalapenos. It’s essential to handle them with care, preferably wearing rubber gloves.
Germination typically occurs within 14 to 28 days, with maturity reached in 70 to 80 days. The germination rate is approximately 85%.
