Description:
The Orange Cayenne pepper is a relative to the OG Cayenne but with a more vibrant color and slightly more heat! This pepper has a great flavor with the right amount of spice guaranteed to liven up any recipe!
These long and slender pods grow on 4 ft. tall plants that can grow well in the ground or in containers. Orange Cayenne peppers are conical 6” peppers that grow straight or curved and taper off to a pointed tip. They have thin flesh with smooth and glossy skin. Peppers will ripen from a dark green color to vibrant orange.
Enjoy the fruity and citrusy flavors of Orange Cayenne peppers in both fresh and cooked foods. The heat, like other Cayennes, is immediately intense but dissipates rather quickly. Chop these peppers up into salads, salsas, and soups, or cook them with chicken or pork for a nice textured taste. Dry these peppers and sprinkle them over meats, stews, and rice dishes for that extra heat.
