Pimenta Leopard Powder is obtained by grinding this Brazilian variety with its elongated, bumpy shape, which vaguely resembles a leopard's spotted coat.
source plant, Capsicum chinense, produces thin, wavy fruits that ripen from green to an intense orange-red, typical of Brazilian pimentas.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown early, in January-February, in a heated seedbed, needed for the plant's full development.
slow drying preserves the fruity aromas typical of pimentas, followed by fine grinding that yields an orange-red powder with an intense scent.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture, dosed carefully given its high heat level.
when handling it, gloves, safety goggles and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways.
Pimenta Leopard Powder has a very high heat level, typical of Brazilian pimentas, ideal for feijoada and other traditional Brazilian dishes.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, with stimulating effects on metabolism and circulation, plus a good intake of vitamin C and carotenoids.
