Growing Tips:

• Planting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix, and transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 65°F.
• Soil: Peppers prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients.
• Sunlight: Plant in a location that receives full sun, at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day, to ensure vigorous growth and fruit development.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions, and mulch around the plants to retain moisture.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer at planting and again when the plants begin to set fruit. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to lush foliage with fewer peppers.
• Support: As the plants grow, they may need staking or caging to support the weight of the heavy, elongated fruits.

Harvesting Tips:

• When to Harvest: Harvest Cow Horn Peppers when they reach full size and have turned a bright red color for the best flavor and heat. They can also be harvested green for a milder taste.
• How to Harvest: Use pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut the peppers from the plant, leaving a short stem attached. Handle with care to avoid damaging the plant.

Culinary Uses:

• Pickling: Cow Horn Peppers are excellent for pickling, preserving their vibrant color and flavor for use in sandwiches, salads, and as a zesty side dish.
• Frying: Fry sliced Cow Horn Peppers with onions and garlic for a savory side dish that pairs well with meats, eggs, and grains.
• Grilling: Grill whole or sliced peppers for a smoky, sweet flavor. Perfect for adding to burgers, tacos, or enjoying on their own.
• Salsas and Sauces: Add chopped Cow Horn Peppers to homemade salsas, hot sauces, and marinades for a moderate heat that complements other ingredients.
• Stir-Fries: Toss sliced peppers into stir-fries with vegetables, meats, or tofu for a colorful and spicy addition.

Medicinal Uses:

• Digestive Health: Peppers, including Cow Horn, contain capsaicin, which may help improve digestion by stimulating the stomach lining and enhancing nutrient absorption.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Capsaicin is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, potentially providing relief from conditions like arthritis and muscle pain.
• Cardiovascular Health: Regular consumption of peppers has been linked to improved heart health by promoting healthy blood flow and reducing cholesterol levels.
