Dried Nasetto pepper is a charming Italian variety, whose name ("little nose") comes from its shape, which closely resembles a puppy's little nose.
plant, of the species Capsicum annuum, is very small but sturdy: it reaches a maximum height of 40 centimeters and a diameter of 30 cm, shaped like a small bush full of oval green leaves.
sowing should be done between February and March in a seedbed at 22-26°C, transplanting after the last frosts; thanks to its compact size it is very easy to manage from the earliest stages.
growing favors sun exposure during the most stable hours and periodic watering that avoids waterlogging, with soil rich in nutrients; it grows perfectly in pots and indoors.
the oval-shaped fruits reach a maximum length of 2 centimeters and a diameter of 1.5 cm; they turn from green to red at full ripeness.
waterlogging, which favors root rot, must be prevented, along with monitoring for aphids, especially under protected or container cultivation.
Nasetto has a low heat level, around 20,000 SHU on the Scoville scale: a mild variety, ideal dried and ground into powder or used to season light sauces.
dried and containing a moderate amount of capsaicin, Nasetto also retains good amounts of carotenoids responsible for its vivid red color.
