De Cayenne red
This well-known chili variety got its name from the capital of French Guiana in South America. The word "Cayenne" is derived from the language of the indigenous people in this region and means something like "hot pepper". However, the name is a bit misleading, as it is not (black) pepper, but chili powder.
Characteristics
This chili plant produces many elongated, slightly curved fruits and ripens from green to red. Thanks to their characteristic fiery, smoky taste, fresh Red Cayenne are suitable for conjuring up your own creations such as sugos, sauces, jams, salads, but also for filling or drying.
