The dried Roberto pepper is a variety with medium-small, tapered fruits, popular among home growers for its abundant productivity and good yield when dried.
plant belongs to the species Capsicum annuum, with a compact bushy habit and numerous pods that ripen from green to bright red.
sowing takes place between February and March, in a protected seedbed at 22-26°C, transplanting outdoors after the last frosts. Harvest comes after about 90-100 days from transplanting.
growing favors full sun exposure and fertile, well-drained soil, with regular watering but no waterlogging for optimal fruit development.
thanks to the plant's contained size, this variety is also well suited to pot cultivation on sunny balconies and terraces, while still keeping abundant pod production.
generally hardy and resistant, it can occasionally be affected by aphids and powdery mildew in poorly ventilated conditions; good air circulation between plants prevents the main issues.
Roberto reaches a medium-high heat level, estimated around 40,000-50,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. Once dried it is excellent ground or in flakes to flavor sauces, spicy oils and preserves.
like all dried hot peppers, Roberto is rich in capsaicin, responsible for its heat and known for rubefacient properties stimulating circulation, as well as a good amount of vitamin C.
