Niche and rarely found in European gardens, it is also easy to grow and thrives in containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHeat and flavor\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eAt around \u003cstrong\u003e10,000 SHU\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is roughly twice as hot as a typical jalapeño – the heat is noticeable and pleasant, but does not overpower the flavor of the dish. The fruits have a fruity aroma typical of the Capsicum frutescens species, which also includes the famous tabasco pepper. This is everyday heat: for seasoning, not extreme challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFruits and plant appearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe pods of \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003e'Ají Picante de Eusebio'\u003c\/strong\u003e are small and teardrop-shaped, about \u003cstrong\u003e3 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e long. As they ripen, they change color and develop their full fruity aroma. The plant grows to around \u003cstrong\u003e1 m\u003c\/strong\u003e, branches out, and should be staked and lightly pruned when fruiting heavily; this makes the growth denser and harvesting easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and history\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe variety comes from Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, where it developed as a local garden pepper. It was named after a gardener called Eusebio, who grew it and passed it on to others. Outside the archipelago, it is almost unknown – one of those varieties that find their way into collections thanks to enthusiasts rather than large seed companies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing requirements in a temperate climate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThis pepper originates from a warm, sunny climate, so in Europe's temperate climate it grows best in a fully sunny, sheltered position. Under cover – in a greenhouse, polytunnel, or beneath plastic – it produces a clearly \u003cstrong\u003ehigher yield\u003c\/strong\u003e than outdoors. It also performs well in a large container: in autumn, when the nights become cool, the plant can be moved to a bright windowsill, where it will continue to ripen and produce fruit. Staking and light pruning keep the bush compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCulinary uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eIn the Canary Islands, this pepper is an ingredient in mojo picón – a spicy red sauce made with garlic, cumin, and olive oil, served with papas arrugadas potatoes. It also works as a versatile seasoning: fresh in dishes, dried and ground into powder, or in homemade chili sauces. With heat of around 10,000 SHU, it can be used generously without overpowering the dish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":54169605472584,"sku":"2844","price":3.4,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":54169605505352,"sku":"2845","price":6.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":54169605538120,"sku":"2846","price":28.6,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":54169605570888,"sku":"2847","price":47.6,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2649\/0440\/files\/Projektbeznazwy_1_1d466568-b0b3-47c4-bd18-87634dffe230.jpg?v=1790860545","url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-papryki-aji-picante-de-eusebio","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
