7 Pot White Powder is obtained by grinding this rare variety native to Chaguanas, in Trinidad, whose name comes from its ability to spice up seven pots of stew.
source plant, of the species Capsicum chinense, reaches about 1 metre in height, with fruits that turn a characteristic ivory-white colour at full ripeness.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown between February and March in a seedbed at 24-28°C, harvested once the skin reaches the variety's typical ivory-white colour.
slow drying preserves the fruits' sweet, fruity notes, followed by fine grinding that yields a light, even powder.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture, and dosed with caution: a few grams are enough to make an entire dish spicy.
when handling it, gloves and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways even from a distance.
7 Pot White Powder has an extreme heat level (about 1,000,000 SHU) with a sweet, fruity aftertaste: excellent for sauces to season steaks and main courses.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, responsible for its heat, along with good amounts of vitamin A and antioxidants.
