Pepper Flame

Flame Chili Pepper — this is a variety of red chili pepper, representing a plant up to 60 cm tall with branched stems and elliptical leaves. The flowers are large, white or grayish with purple spots. The fruits are berry-shaped with a low-moisture pericarp, which may be spherical to horn-shaped, and colored in shades ranging from yellow and red to black-olive. This variety is characterized by its intensely hot flavor, making it popular for culinary use and as medicinal raw material.

Harvesting of fruits occurs from July to September. For preservation, fruits are dried whole or chopped, typically in the sun, which causes them to shrivel. After drying, fruits are separated from the calyx and ground into powder. This method of processing yields, for example, cayenne pepper, known for its heat and aroma. In international trade, the most hot varieties of bell and cayenne peppers are collectively called 'chili,' distinguishing them from milder varieties.

Flame Chili Pepper is valued for its intense aroma and spicy flavor, making it widely used in dishes requiring heat and pronounced aroma. Additionally, it contains valuable substances beneficial to the human body, making it not only a culinary ingredient but also a health-promoting product.
