Horn Pepper (Ớt Sừng) is one of Vietnam’s most popular chili varieties, famous for its long, curved shape, resembling a bull’s horn, and its eye-catching bright red color. Vietnamese Horn Pepper not only enhances the visual appeal of dishes but also delivers a moderate, well-balanced level of heat, making it ideal for fresh consumption, spice processing, and industrial raw material use.
1. PREMIUM QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS
The quality of Vietnamese Horn Pepper is assured from cultivation to harvest:
-
Color and Shape: The chili boasts a natural, bright red color, a glossy, plump skin, and minimal blemishes. Its perfect horn shape (slightly curved, tapering toward the tip) is highly appealing and suitable for culinary decoration.
-
Moderate Heat Level: Horn Pepper’s heat is typically in the medium range (around $5,000 – 15,000$ SHU – Scoville Heat Units), sufficient to create an intense flavor without being overwhelming, catering to the palates of many international markets.
-
Thick and Crisp Flesh: The chili has thick flesh, maintaining its crispness and freshness for an extended period, which is excellent for long-distance shipping and cold storage.
2. DIVERSE APPLICATIONS IN CUISINE AND PROCESSING
Vietnamese Horn Pepper is a versatile ingredient across many sectors:
-
Fresh Produce: Used as a garnish, an accompaniment to dishes (salads, phở, bún), or pickled in vinegar.
-
Chili Sauce/Paste Processing: The perfect heat and color of the Horn Pepper make it a core ingredient for fresh chili sauces, particularly clean-label products free from artificial coloring.
