Green Pearl powder is made by grinding the small dried fruits of this Italian evolution of the famous Black Pearl variety.
The source pepper, Capsicum annuum, has a compact bush up to 45 cm tall, ideal for container growing too.
Seeds for fruit production are started in spring, transplanting after the last frosts.
Growing suits both the traditional vegetable garden and the balcony, thanks to the plant's compact size.
Fruits, which turn from olive-green to strong, deep red at full ripeness, must be fully dried before fine grinding.
A hardy, undemanding plant, generally resistant to common garden issues; good sun exposure and regular watering support its health.
Green Pearl powder has a low heat level, estimated around 30,000 SHU, excellent for seasoning meat and fish dishes, sauces and condiments.
Contains capsaicin, responsible for its heat, plus a good supply of vitamin C typical of this family of vegetables.
