Dragon's Tongue Powder is obtained by finely grinding the elongated, curved red fruits of this evocatively named variety.
source plant, of the species Capsicum chinense, produces bright red pods with a thin, curved shape resembling a flaming tongue.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown between February and March in a seedbed at 24-28°C, dried and ground after the autumn harvest.
slow, low-temperature drying preserves the vivid color and aroma, followed by fine grinding that removes the coarser seed fragments.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture, and dosed with extreme caution: a few pinches are enough to season an entire dish.
when handling it, gloves and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways even from a distance.
Dragon's Tongue Powder has a very high heat level, well over a million SHU on the Scoville scale: perfect in small pinches for artisan hot sauces or intense marinades.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, responsible for its intense heat, along with good amounts of vitamin A and antioxidants.
