Pimenta de Neyde Powder is obtained by grinding this Brazilian variety with small, drop-shaped fruits, among the most prized in South American collections.
source plant, Capsicum chinense, native to Brazil, produces small drop-shaped fruits on a highly productive plant.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown early, in January-February, in a heated seedbed, needed for full ripening.
slow drying preserves the variety's fruity notes, followed by fine grinding that produces a powder with an intense, distinctive aroma.
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 de Neyde Powder has a high heat level, with intense fruity notes, ideal for Brazilian cuisine, hot sauces and rice and bean dishes.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, with stimulating effects on metabolism and circulation, plus a rich intake of vitamin C.
