Cowhorn Hot Pepper

Cowhorn Hot Pepper is an open-pollinated pepper variety with medium, but not overwhelming heat. It has a Scoville heat rating of 2,500 to 5,000 which makes it a perfect pepper to add a slight bit of heat to your favorite dish. They get their name because the fruits are elongated and curved, shaped like a cow horn. They have a similar appearance to a cayenne pepper, although slightly thicker and longer. Cowhorn Hot Pepper will grow up to 10″ long and fruits will turn from green to bright red at maturity. This is a great pepper for making hot sauce and dried red pepper flakes.
