Bishop's Crown Orange powder comes from the orange variant of this unusual bishop's hat-shaped pepper, with a sweet, fruity flavor profile.
The source pepper, Capsicum baccatum, grows on a vigorous, branching plant up to one meter tall, highly productive throughout summer.
Sowing takes place between February and March in a heated seedbed, with transplanting outdoors after the last spring frosts.
It loves sunny spots and well-drained, fertile soil; it tolerates heat well and keeps fruiting until the first autumn cold.
The fruits keep the typical tricorn shape but turn from green to bright orange at ripeness; they must be well dried before grinding.
Prevent waterlogging and monitor for aphids and whitefly, ensuring good airflow between plants.
The powder has a medium-low heat level, around 30,000-50,000 SHU, with sweet, fruity notes: great on grilled vegetables, sauces and marinades.
A source of capsaicin and carotenoids responsible for the fruit's orange color.
