Notes | This wonderful seasoning pepper from Trinidad may look like a typical habanero, but it has no heat. What it does have is delectable pepper flavor that adds so much to make Caribbean dishes really special. Pendant peppers are 1 to 1½ inches long and mature to golden orange-yellow. Plants are tall and prolific. 80 to 85 days. Trinidad Perfume peppers are a unique variety of chili pepper that offers the flavor profile of a typical habanero without the intense heat. Here are some characteristics of the Trinidad Perfume pepper: Heat Level: This pepper is known for its very mild heat, registering low on the Scoville scale, which makes it suitable for those who enjoy the flavor of habaneros but cannot tolerate their spiciness. Flavor: It has a sweet, fruity, and slightly tangy flavor reminiscent of tropical fruits, which is why it's often used to add a habanero-like aroma and taste to dishes without the accompanying heat. Appearance: The peppers are small to medium in size and typically have a lantern-like shape. They mature to a bright yellow color when ripe, adding a vibrant touch to the garden and dishes. Plant Characteristics: Trinidad Perfume pepper plants are bushy and can grow to a moderate height, making them suitable for container gardening as well as traditional garden beds. Culinary Uses: Due to their mild heat and flavorful profile, these peppers are excellent for fresh salsas, marinades, and Caribbean-inspired cuisine. They can be used whole, sliced, or diced to impart flavor without overwhelming heat. Growing Season: Similar to other chili peppers, they require a warm growing season and should be started indoors in cooler climates before transplanting outside after the last frost. The Trinidad Perfume pepper is a great choice for those who want to enjoy the tropical flavors of habanero-type peppers without the intense heat that usually comes with them. https://tomatogrowers.com/products/trinidad-perfume?_pos=1&_sid=54fb5a088&_ss=r |
