The Tabasco Pepper does not grow in a bottle, nor does it taste like salty vinegar. That’s something they came up with in Louisiana. It’s just a regular hard-working Joe that shows up even on the hottest days, pumping out 1"-2" peppers with tapered tips that point upward, ripening from green to yellow to orange to that famous hot sauce red. Heat tolerant and hardy enough to overwinter in warmer grow zones. With a spiciness similar to a Cayenne Pepper, it adds a distinct, smoky jolt to eggs, chili, stir fry, or salsa.
