Tobasco Greenleaf Chile Pepper:
The Pepper Chili Tabasco Greenleaf, 'Capsicum frutescens', is a very hot pepper with a uniquely smoky flavor. The Tabasco Greenleaf is used for sauce and either fresh or dried in spicy Asian, Cajun or Creole dishes. Tabasco Greenleaf is a disease resistant, very hot variety of the chili, used in the famous sauce for more than 130 years. The pods are about 1.5 inches long and are yellow, maturing to red. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Harvest when peppers have turned from green to red.
