Little Bastard Powder is obtained by finely grinding the small, explosive fruits of this jokingly named superhot hybrid.
source plant, of the species Capsicum chinense, produces small, compact pods with a bumpy surface, disproportionate to their heat level.
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 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.
Little Bastard Powder has an extreme heat level despite the small fruit size: use it in minimal pinches for artisan hot sauces.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, responsible for its record heat, along with good amounts of vitamin A and antioxidants.
