Dried Monkey's Nipple Pepper
Dried Capezzolo di Scimmia Pepper, also known as Monkey's Nipple, is a Capsicum chinense cultivar native to Bolivia, named for the distinctive round shape of its fruits.
The Monkey's Nipple Plant
The plant has a branched, small-tree habit, compact in size (40-50 cm), quite sensitive to cold and needing protection in winter; it suits growing in pots as well as open ground. The fruits, small and rounded, with a maximum diameter of about 1-1.7 cm, turn from green to yellow at maturity.
How to Sow Monkey's Nipple
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 Monkey's Nipple
Transplant from April to June, once temperatures start to rise steadily. It prefers sunny soil and high temperatures, being native to tropical areas; watering should be moderate.
Heat Level and Care Tips for Monkey's Nipple
The heat level is high, not excessive for the variety (about 100,000-150,000 SHU): gloves are essential when handling the fruits, carefully avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Diseases and Pests of Monkey's Nipple
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 Monkey's Nipple
The high capsaicin content gives strong thermogenic and metabolism-stimulating properties. Dried Capezzolo di Scimmia pepper, prized for its fruity, aromatic flavor, is used ground into powder or flakes for bold, fresh-tasting sauces.
