Nasetto powder is made by grinding this all-Italian pepper, whose curious name refers to the fruit's shape, reminiscent of a puppy's little nose.
The source pepper, Capsicum annuum, grows on a small but sturdy bush-shaped plant, up to 40 centimeters tall and about 30 wide, with dense green oval leaves.
Seeds for fruit production are started between February and March, transplanting after the last frosts.
Thanks to its compact size it is easy to grow in pots on balconies and terraces; it prefers sunny spots and regular watering without waterlogging.
The small fruits ripen from green to red; they should be harvested at full ripeness and fully dried before grinding.
A hardy, generally resistant plant; waterlogging should be avoided as it favors root rot.
Nasetto powder has a low heat level, around 20,000 SHU: perfect for a light touch of heat on meats, sauces and traditional Italian dishes.
Contains capsaicin in moderate amounts and carotenoids responsible for the red color of the dried fruits.
