Maule's Red Hot Pepper
🔥🔥
Scoville: 30,000 - 50,000
The Maule's Red Hot Pepper is a beautiful heirloom variety cherished for its vibrant red color, reliable productivity, and outstanding flavor. Originally preserved by pepper enthusiast Michael Maule, this variety produces abundant clusters of elongated, pointed pods that ripen from green to a brilliant glossy red. The bright fruits stand out dramatically against the plant's deep green foliage, creating an eye-catching display throughout the growing season.
Size
The peppers typically grow 3 to 5 inches long with smooth skin and slightly wrinkled shoulders near the stem. Their elegant shape and rich coloration make them attractive both in the garden and on the plate. Productive plants often yield dozens of peppers, making this variety a favorite among home gardeners and specialty growers.
Taste
The Maule's Red Hot Pepper offers a rich, fruity flavor with subtle sweetness and a classic peppery bite. Beneath the heat are hints of citrus and fresh red pepper flavor that give the pods excellent culinary versatility. The heat is noticeable and satisfying, building steadily without overwhelming the pepper's natural taste.
