Macarena Penis powder comes from a hybrid of the Macarena pepper, prized by collectors for its distinctive elongated pod shape. It's made by drying ripe pods and grinding them fine, preserving colour and aroma.
The Capsicum annuum plant has a compact habit reaching about 60 cm in height, with light green oval leaves and white flowers.
Seeds for pod production are started indoors from February to March, transplanting once night temperatures stay reliably above 15°C.
Growing requires full sun, well-drained soil and regular watering; the plant also adapts well to pot cultivation on a balcony.
Pods should be picked at full ripeness, once they turn from green to deep burgundy red, and dried quickly before grinding to preserve colour and aroma.
Like other Capsicum varieties it can suffer from aphids, whitefly and root rot in waterlogged soil; good drainage prevents most issues.
Macarena Penis powder has a moderate heat level (about 50,000 SHU) that makes it versatile in the kitchen, from sauces to marinades.
Rich in capsaicin, it has thermogenic and digestive-stimulating properties, plus vitamin C and antioxidants preserved through drying.
