tabasco pepper
Louisiana hot ingredient
A tabasco pepper is a small, tapered chili pepper that ripens from yellow-green to orange to bright red.
The peppers are notably juicy compared to other chilis, which makes them ideal for the fermented hot sauce that shares their name.
Tabasco peppers rank moderately hot—hotter than jalapeños but milder than habaneros.
