The small plants are placed on coconut substrate mats and then provided with a water-drip system. The substrate mats form a good nutrient medium for the pepper plants. And with many different varieties of peppers and paprikas that we grow, the water-drip system ensures that each plant receives exactly the right amount of water and nutrients!
Then the plants need a lot of time to grow. Some varieties, such as the hungarian wax, shakira and green jalapeño, can be harvested for the first time in February/March. But other varieties like the super hot and Aji Amarillo not until May. This differs per variety and colour.

The drying process extends the life of peppers considerably, they spoil less, but they can also lose their flavour or shelf life after drying if not stored properly. Read our blog on how to keep them in good condition for a long time here.
Have some fresh chili peppers left over? You can easily dry them yourself. Read our blog on how to do that.
The jalapeño and the chipotle are two popular peppers. Although they are actually the same pepper, they are very different and are sometimes mixed up. Read our blog about the differences and similarities between the jalapeño and chipotle.
