Dried Pyramid pepper takes its name from the characteristic truncated-cone shape of the fruit, which resembles a small pyramid with a wide base and a tapered tip.
plant, of the species Capsicum annuum, is compact and bushy, about 50-70 centimeters tall, highly productive and suited to container growing too.
sowing should be done between February and March in a seedbed at 22-26°C, transplanting after the last frosts; fruits ripen in about 80-90 days from transplant.
growing requires full sun exposure and regular watering without waterlogging, with soil rich in organic matter and well-drained.
the fruits, with their characteristic wide base and pointed tip, turn from green to vivid red at full ripeness, keeping fleshy walls.
waterlogging, which favors root rot, must be prevented, along with monitoring for aphids, especially under protected cultivation.
Pyramid has a medium heat level, between 10,000 and 25,000 SHU on the Scoville scale: excellent dried and ground into powder, or kept whole to season winter dishes.
dried and rich in capsaicin, responsible for its moderate heat, it also retains good amounts of vitamin C and carotenoids.
