Mechico Powder
Mechico powder comes from a Mexican pepper variety, prized among home growers for its intense flavour and good yield. It's made by drying ripe pods and grinding them fine, preserving their typical aroma.
The Mechico Powder Plant
The Capsicum plant, typical of Mexican pepper cultivation, has a bushy habit and produces elongated pods ripening from green to intense red.
How to Sow Mechico Powder
Seeds for pod production are started indoors from February to March, transplanting once night temperatures stay reliably above 15°C.
How to Grow Mechico Powder
Growing requires full sun, well-drained soil and regular watering, with potassium-rich feeding during fruiting to boost yield.
Tips for Mechico Powder
Pods should be picked at full red ripeness and dried quickly to preserve colour and aroma, then ground only once fully dry.
Diseases and Pests of Mechico Powder
Like other Capsicum varieties it can suffer from aphids, whitefly and root rot in overly wet soil; good drainage prevents most issues.
Uses and Curiosities of Mechico Powder
Mechico powder is ideal for Mexican cuisine dishes, sauces and marinades, with medium-high heat and a recognisable, intense aroma.
Properties of Mechico Powder
Rich in capsaicin, it has thermogenic and digestive-stimulating properties, plus vitamin C and antioxidants preserved through drying.
