Dried Coyote Zan White Pepper is a Capsicum chinense cultivar native to Brazil, prized for the pure white color of its fruits, particularly unusual among peppers.
The plant resembles a small tree, narrow at the base and very leafy towards the top, with dark green oval leaves; it can reach one meter in height. The fruits, elongated and horn- or tooth-shaped, 2-4 cm long, turn from light green to pure white at maturity.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C until germination, which usually takes 2-3 weeks.
Transplant from April to June, once temperatures start to rise steadily. It prefers full sun, permeable fertile soil; it is a very prolific and adaptable variety, suitable for growing in pots or in open ground.
The heat level is medium-high (about 60,000-200,000 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; avoiding wetting the foliage during watering reduces the risk of fungal disease.
The high capsaicin content gives strong thermogenic and metabolism-stimulating properties. Dried Coyote Zan White pepper, prized for its fruity, lightly aromatic flavor, is used ground into powder or flakes for sauces with an unusually pale color.
