Dried Salvatore Jones Yellow Pepper is the dried version of the yellow variant of this SuperHot pepper created by Bob Jones (Jones Peppers) by crossing a Carolina Reaper and a Ghost Pepper, belonging to the species Capsicum chinense.
The plant is vigorous and productive, with bumpy, tailed fruits that turn a bright intense yellow at maturity.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C until germination, which may take 3-4 weeks given the high heat of this genotype.
Transplant from May, once night temperatures stay stably above 15°C. It prefers full sun, fertile well-drained soil, regular watering without waterlogging and periodic potassium-rich fertilization during fruiting.
The heat level is very high (about 691,000 SHU): gloves are essential when handling the fruits, carefully avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
It can be affected by aphids, spider mites and whitefly, especially under protected cultivation with poor ventilation; good air circulation reduces the risk of powdery mildew.
The high capsaicin content gives strong thermogenic and metabolism-stimulating properties. Dried Salvatore Jones Yellow pepper, prized for its fruity flavor and intense heat, is used ground into powder or flakes for very spicy sauces.
