Tabasco peppers
Tabasco peppers are the main ingredients in the famous Tabasco sauce. These red, fiery hot peppers are native to the Central Mexican Tabasco province, but grown elsewhere for their unique, erect and juicy fruit pods.
Scientific name: Capsicum frutescens var. tabasco. In Botany, tabasco pepper belongs to the nightshade family (Solanaceae), in the genus: Capsicum and chief cultivars in the frutescens species.
Tabasco peppers prefer frost-free, sunshine climates to flourish. Fertile, well-drained sandy soils with adequate moisture put through their growth.
