dried Macarena pepper
The dried Macarena pepper is a domestic variety selected in Italy by researcher Mario Dadomo at the Stuard experimental farm in Parma. The fruits have an elongated, slender shape with a slightly wrinkled surface, ripening from green to a bright red color.
The dried Macarena pepper Plant
plant belongs to the species Capsicum chinense and has a bushy, compact habit, reaching a height of about 60-80 cm. It produces numerous hanging fruits that develop in clusters along the branches.
How to Sow dried Macarena pepper
sowing should be done between February and April, in a heated seedbed at constant temperatures of 26-28°C, as for other Capsicum chinense varieties. Fruits reach full ripeness in about 110-120 days from transplanting.
How to Grow dried Macarena pepper
growing favors full sun exposure and fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Being a selection adapted to the Italian climate, it proves particularly productive even in northern regions.
Tips for dried Macarena pepper
thanks to its compact habit and good productivity, Macarena adapts well both to open field growing and pot cultivation on sunny balconies and terraces. It does not need staking, but benefits from regular watering without water stagnation.
Diseases and Pests of dried Macarena pepper
like other Capsicum chinense, it is generally resistant to bacteria and pests, but can occasionally be affected by aphids and red spider mites, especially under protected cultivation. Good air circulation between plants helps prevent the main fungal issues.
Uses and Curiosities of dried Macarena pepper
Macarena reaches a medium-high heat level, estimated around 50,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. Dried, it is ground into powder or used in flakes to flavor sauces, preserves and traditional Italian spicy dishes.
Properties of dried Macarena pepper
like all hot peppers, dried Macarena is rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for its heat and with rubefacient properties stimulating circulation, as well as particularly high amounts of vitamin C.
