Dried Fatalii Red Pepper

Dried Fatalii Red Pepper is the red variant of the famous Fatalii, a cultivar of the Habanero family belonging to the species Capsicum chinense, originally from the Caribbean and now widespread in Central Africa.

The Fatalii Red Plant

The plant grows upright and branched in a small tree shape, reaching up to 1.3-1.8 metres in height; the oblong fruits, tapering at the tip, are green when unripe and turn bright red at full maturity.

How to Sow Fatalii Red

Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C until germination, which usually takes 2-3 weeks.

How to Grow Fatalii Red

Transplant from April to June, once temperatures start to rise steadily. It prefers full sun or partial shade, shelter from wind, permeable fertile soil, and a small stake to support the stem.

Heat Level and Care Tips for Fatalii Red

The heat level is high (about 125,000-400,000 SHU): gloves are recommended when handling the fruits, avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Diseases and Pests of Fatalii Red

It can be affected by aphids, spider mites and whitefly; avoiding wetting the foliage during watering reduces the risk of fungal disease.

Properties and Uses of Fatalii Red

The high capsaicin content gives strong thermogenic and metabolism-stimulating properties. Dried Fatalii Red pepper, prized for its intense citrus and tropical fruit aroma, is used ground into powder or flakes to season fish and white meats.
