The dried Mexican Golden pepper is a variety originating from Mexico, as the name suggests, characterized by a compact plant and a distinctive fuzz on stem and leaves.
plant, of the species Capsicum annuum, is very hardy and takes on a small tree shape, reaching about 80 cm in height and 50 cm in diameter; it is leafy and prolific, with few white flowers per node.
sowing should be done between February and March, in a seedbed at 22-26°C, transplanting after the last frosts. Harvest comes after about 80-100 days from transplanting.
growing favors full sun exposure and well-drained soil, adapting well to both open ground and pot cultivation thanks to the plant's compact size.
the fuzz visible along the entire stem and on the leaves is the distinctive feature of this variety compared to the classic Mexican pepper, along with the golden color of the ripe fruits.
a hardy, resistant plant, generally not very susceptible to fungal diseases when grown with good air circulation and no waterlogging.
Mexican Golden keeps the medium-high heat level typical of Mexican varieties, excellent dried and ground to flavor sauces, marinades and traditional Tex-Mex dishes.
like all dried hot peppers, Mexican Golden is rich in capsaicin, responsible for its heat, as well as a good amount of vitamin C and flavonoids.
