Overview
Long Red Slim, also called Long Slim, is the classic heirloom cayenne. Fruit are 5 to 6 inches long and about an inch wide, slightly curled, tapered and thin-walled, ripening from green to bright red with real pungency. The thin flesh dries quickly, which is why this variety is traditionally strung into ropes or ground for cayenne powder and flakes. Plants produce over a long season and cope well with heat, making it a dependable hot pepper for hot-summer regions. Pick at full red for the strongest flavor when drying.
