These are much smaller plants than the traditional Tabasco, reaching only about 2-foot by 2-foot. The original plant came from Avery Island and I have been saving these seeds for 5 years.
The Tabasco pepper (Capsicum frutescens) is a small, vibrant chili pepper known for its fiery heat and distinctive flavor.
Native to the Mexican state of Tabasco, it’s widely cultivated for use in hot sauces, most famously the world-renowned Tabasco Sauce.
The peppers start green, ripening to a bright red, and grow to about 1-2 inches long.
With a Scoville heat rating ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, they offer a moderate to intense spiciness.
They’re typically used in sauces, salsas, or dried as a spice.
Their unique combination of heat and tangy flavor makes them a favorite for spice enthusiasts.
