Description:
Cow Horn Hot Peppers are named after their shape and relation to, you guessed it, a cow's horn! These cayenne peppers are one of the largest chilis in the world and make for a great addition to many different cuisines.
The Cow Horn plant grows up to 3 ft. tall and produces pods that can grow up to 8-10” long and 1" wide. That’s three Jalapeños to match the total length of the average Cow Horn pepper! These pods start out as green, then turn to red as they ripen. Their shape is long, slender, and curved with very thick walls.
These chiles are an excellent choice for those who want to take their produce to market and those who want to grow these at a smaller scale in home gardens. The Cow Horn Peppers' thick walls make this phenomenal for making sauces and drying to turn into pepper flakes. We recommend cooking with this pepper because its heat is family-friendly, so the Cow Horn is also great for pickling, hot sauces, salsas, and many more culinary uses.
