Hot Pepper Seeds Tsitsak (Capsicum annuum)
Tsitsak is a traditional and flavorful hot pepper variety with a long history in Eastern European and Caucasian cuisines. Known for its distinctive tangy heat and versatility, this heirloom pepper has been cherished for generations. Often used for pickling, fresh in salads, or as a spicy garnish, Tsitsak peppers are a staple in authentic culinary traditions.
The Tsitsak plant is compact and bushy, reaching a height of 50–70 cm, making it suitable for small gardens and containers. It produces elongated, slightly curved fruits measuring 10–15 cm in length and 2–3 cm in diameter. The peppers start green and ripen to a vibrant red, adding visual appeal to any garden. Each pepper weighs approximately 20–30 grams. With a mild Scoville Heat Unit range of 1,000–5,000, Tsitsak offers a gentle yet flavorful heat perfect for those who enjoy moderate spiciness.
These peppers have a tangy, slightly sweet flavor with a mild heat that enhances a variety of dishes. They are ideal for pickling, adding a crunchy texture and bold taste to meals. Tsitsak is also used fresh in salads, grilled, or incorporated into sauces and marinades, offering a balance of spice and sweetness.
Cultivation Recommendations:
• Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Maintain a consistent temperature of 22–28°C for optimal germination, which typically occurs within 7–14 days.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors once soil temperatures consistently exceed 18°C. Space plants 30–45 cm apart in rows with 60 cm between rows, ensuring full sunlight for best growth.
• Use fertile, well-draining soil with a pH range of 6.0–7.0. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering.
• Fertilize with a balanced formula during early growth and switch to a phosphorus-rich fertilizer during flowering and fruit production.
• Harvest peppers when they reach their full size and desired color for the best flavor and texture.
Tsitsak peppers are perfect for gardeners and culinary enthusiasts looking for a productive plant with a rich cultural heritage. Their versatility and mild heat make them a great addition to any kitchen garden.
