DescriptionThe Tabasco pepper is the legendary variety behind the world's most famous hot sauce, grown in Louisiana since the 1860s. These small, upright pods ripen through a beautiful color progression from greenish-yellow to orange to bright red, with juicy flesh and a sharp, vinegar-friendly heat.

The high juice content makes Tabasco peppers ideal for fermenting into hot sauce, but they're also excellent dried, pickled, or used fresh in Cajun and Creole cooking. A piece of American culinary history in every pod.
