Being as this is a much more mild pepper and they get really long, they are great to use in stir-fries. The Golden cayenne pepper is yellow in color, making it strikingly different from other red varieties. The yellow cayenne pepper is considered a moderately hot cultivar, matching many other varieties with its Scoville units.
Orange cayenne peppers ripen from a dark green color to a bright orange color. The flavor of these peppers is a bit more fruity than other cayenne cultivars.

Grind peppers a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Just a couple of short pulses is all you need. Just a couple of short pulses will give you hot pepper flakes.

I like the Hungarian hot wax pepper. It produces a lot of peppers per plant. I have dried ones in my spice cabinet dating back a few years. All still good for use. Very spicy! I use much less of it than store bought stuff.
