Dried Little Bastard Pepper
Dried Little Bastard Pepper is the dried version of a rare superhot hybrid belonging to the species Capsicum chinense, resulting from crosses between scorpion and reaper varieties bred by independent chili enthusiasts. Despite the small size that gives it its name, it develops off-the-chart heat, exceeding one million Scoville Heat Units.
The Little Bastard Plant
The plant is compact yet highly productive, with intense green leaves and sturdy stems. The fruits are small and concentrated, with wrinkled, bumpy skin, ripening from green to intense red with a small pointed tail.
How to Sow Little Bastard
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C: Capsicum chinense germination is slow, often 3-4 weeks.
How to Grow Little Bastard
Transplant from May, once night temperatures stay stably above 15°C. It prefers full sun, rich well-drained soil, regular watering and supportive fertilization throughout the season.
Heat Level and Care Tips for Little Bastard
The capsaicin content is extremely high: always handle with disposable gloves, avoiding any contact with eyes and mucous membranes. During drying, keep the product away from direct drafts and excessive heat sources.
Diseases and Pests of Little Bastard
Like other Capsicum chinense, it can be affected by aphids, spider mites and whitefly, especially under protected cultivation with poor ventilation.
Properties and Uses of Little Bastard
Capsaicin, responsible for the heat, has thermogenic properties and boosts metabolism. Dried Little Bastard pepper, with a fruity flavor followed by a fast, lingering burn, is used as powder, sauces or concentrated extracts, always in minimal doses.
