Dried Pink Tiger Salmon Pepper is an Italian SuperHot hybrid belonging to the species Capsicum chinense, prized for its large, elongated fruit and eye-catching color.
The plant produces good-sized elongated fruits with a bright yellow color fading to dark red at the tip, a striking tiger-like effect that gives the variety its name.
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 extreme (about 500,000 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 Pink Tiger Salmon pepper, prized for its two-tone color and strong heat, is used ground into powder or flakes for very spicy sauces.
