Dried Coyote Zan Yellow Pepper is a Capsicum chinense cultivar native to Brazil, belonging to the same family as the Coyote Zan White but characterized by yellow fruits and very small size.
The plant has a compact habit, very well suited to pot cultivation, with dark green oval leaves; the fruits, extremely small and shaped like an elongated tooth, turn from light green to yellow 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; thanks to its small size it is particularly suitable for balcony growing too.
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 Yellow pepper, prized for its fruity, lightly aromatic flavor, is used ground into powder or flakes; the fruits can also be frozen or eaten fresh.
