Dried Pimenta de Neyde Yellow Pepper is an F1 variant of the Pimenta da Neyde (a Capsicum chinense hybrid), originally from Brazil, standing out from the black parent variety for the yellow color of its ripe, wide, medium-sized fruits.
The plant has a branched, small-tree habit, with green oval-lanceolate leaves; the fruits, wide-shaped and medium-sized, turn from darker shades to yellow at full 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 adapts well to the Italian climate, like the parent variety, and is resistant to common pests and diseases.
The heat level is medium, not excessive for the Neyde family (about 200,000 SHU): gloves are still recommended when handling the fruits, 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 Pimenta de Neyde Yellow pepper, prized for the fruity flavor typical of the variety, is used ground into powder or flakes for spicy jams and sauces.
