Description
TABASCO PEPPERS are the main ingredients in the famous Tabasco sauce. These red, fiery hot peppers are native to the Central Mexican Tabasco province, but grown elsewhere for their unique, erect and juicy fruit pods. Nutrition: Fresh tabasco peppers are a rich source of vitamin-C and B-complex vitamins. Vitamin-C is a potent water-soluble antioxidant, required for collagen synthesis, and also helps boost immunity against viral diseases. Color: This pepper starts out green, BUT you can let them ripen to orange or red! Size: 1-2 inches long How To Harvest: 1) The plant will develop white flowers that will turn into fruit within 2wks. 2) Once the fruit sets on the stem, let it reach 1 inch long before harvesting. 3) Cut using clean scissors leaving 1/2 of stem on the pepper.
Plant care:
Remove 2-3 LARGE stems with leaves all the way to the main stem of the plant every week. This places the energy back into the root structure of the plant for producing more fruit. Harvest pepper when fruit gets to 2″ in size.
