Pepper Cayenne Orange produces tapered, oblong fruits that mature from green to vibrant orange, delivering the distinctive heat and flavor characteristic of cayenne peppers. The elongated fruit morphology is ideally suited for drying applications, where the thin walls facilitate rapid moisture removal and concentrated flavor development. The vibrant orange coloration at full maturity indicates peak capsaicinoid concentration, offering maximum heat intensity for culinary and preservation purposes. Ideal for fresh consumption, grilling, or drying and grinding into spices, this variety adds a versatile kick to your culinary creations while supporting diverse food preservation and preparation methods. The tapered form makes these peppers particularly well-suited for whole-pepper drying, stringing for decorative and functional storage, or processing into powders and flakes. The distinctive cayenne flavor profile—complex heat with subtle fruity undertones—enhances salsas, hot sauces, spice blends, and traditional culinary applications across global cuisines. This heirloom variety represents a traditional cayenne type with proven performance across diverse growing conditions and climates. The open-pollinated genetics allow gardeners to save seeds from superior plants, supporting long-term seed sovereignty and reducing annual input costs while maintaining the genetic diversity that characterizes heritage pepper cultivation. The plants develop vigorous growth habits and produce abundant fruit throughout the season when provided adequate warmth and sunlight. With an 80-day harvest period and a germination rate of 70% or higher, Cayenne Orange provides reliable stand establishment and consistent productivity. The plants thrive in warm-season gardens and respond well to standard pepper cultivation practices, from soil preparation through harvest and post-harvest processing. Each packet contains 25 non-GMO heirloom seeds selected for vigor and performance consistency. Packaged in environmentally conscious, reusable materials that align with eco-friendly and sustainable growing standards, Cayenne Orange combines heritage genetics with practical heat production and culinary versatility for gardeners seeking authentic spice cultivation.
