Baklouti pepper
Baklouti pepper is a variety of chili pepper that originates from Tunisia, a country located in North Africa. This pepper is named after the town of Baklouti, where it is traditionally grown.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Baklouti pepper is a medium-hot chili, with a Scoville heat unit rating of 1,000 to 5,000. The peppers are typically 3 to 5 inches long and start off green, turning red as they mature. They have a unique, smoky flavor that is often described as fruity and slightly bitter.
Cultivation[edit | edit source]
Baklouti peppers are typically grown in the warm, arid climate of Tunisia. They require full sun and well-drained soil. The plants are usually started indoors and then transplanted outside after the last frost. The peppers are harvested when they turn red, indicating that they are fully mature.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Baklouti peppers are used in a variety of culinary applications. They are often dried and ground into a spice, used fresh in salads and stews, or pickled for later use. One of the most popular uses for Baklouti peppers is in the production of Harissa, a hot chili paste that is a staple in Tunisian and other North African cuisines.
Health Benefits[edit | edit source]
Like other chili peppers, Baklouti peppers are rich in Vitamin C and other antioxidants. They are also known to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help boost metabolism.
