Chili pepper (Togarashi)

【Honmoku Farm Herb Seedling】
We deliver pesticide-free grown Taka no Tsume (chili peppers) from the warm Honmoku Cape, surrounded by the sea on three sides, as potted seedlings with soil.

【Shipping】
We will ship them in their soil-filled pots via 4th class mail.
Shipping will primarily be on weekdays (Monday), (Tuesday), and (Wednesday).

【Soil】
Use commercially available horticultural soil mixed with dolomitic lime, well-rotted compost, and slow-release fertilizer.
Organic lime made from oyster shells is recommended as it prevents the soil from hardening.

【Planting】
As these grow into large plants, plant one per 65cm planter.

【Harvest】
Harvest is possible from summer to late autumn. In my home, we make Yuzu Kosho (yuzu chili paste) at the end of autumn with unripe Taka no Tsume and green yuzu.
Adding Manganji chili peppers along with Taka no Tsume makes a slightly milder Yuzu Kosho.
If you portion them and freeze them in Ziploc bags, they will last for a year.
Green chili peppers enhance the fresh spiciness and aroma when used in Peperoncino, pizza, or hot dogs!
In winter, they are indispensable for hot pot dishes, udon, soba, boiled tofu, and chilled tofu.
If you have a large harvest, wait until they turn bright red, then harvest and dry them on a net or similar surface to preserve them as Taka no Tsume (red chili peppers).
Please try growing them together with Manganji chili peppers.
