About Carolina Black Pearl Pepper
Carolina Black Pearl Pepper is a rare and exotic pepper that originates from the Southeastern region of the United States. This delicious pepper boasts a deep, rich flavor and packs a serious punch. Its unique, glossy black color sets it apart from other peppers and makes it a wonderful ornamental plant as well.
The Carolina Black Pearl Pepper is a member of the Capsicum annuum species. It grows to be about three inches long, and its thin skin is firm and crunchy. The pepper starts out green, but then matures to a striking black color as it ripens. Its heat level ranges from medium to hot, with a Scoville rating of around 30,000 to 50,000.
A mature Carolina Black Pearl Pepper plant can grow up to four feet tall and produces a heavy yield of peppers. The plant's foliage is rich in color, with dark green leaves that contrast beautifully with the black peppers. It blooms small, white flowers, which eventually give way to clusters of peppers.
The Carolina Black Pearl Pepper is ideal for cooking and can be used in a variety of dishes, including Mexican and Southern cuisine. It works well in salsas, hot sauces, and marinades, and can also be pickled for a delicious snack. When used fresh, its slight sweetness and bold flavor stand out, making it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.
