Goat Horn

Picked these up a local nursery. When I looked them up I found they were an heirloom cayenne type.
I found them to be larger, meatier pith wise, and less seedy then a standard cayenne. That and they taste nothing like a cayenne. They taste kinda of like a very fruity thai pepper. They do GROW like a cayenne, downward pointing pods. Though it's branches are more "gangly" then a normal cayenne. They are not very hot, somewhat less than a jalapeño.

Next to a cayenne.

Wondering if anyone knows anything about this pepper. Since there appears to be a lack of information on them in general.

It's an annuum and it's red, so it's ripe. If you plant seeds from it, likely they will germinate and grow into new Goat Horn plants.
 
Does that help?
 
 
 
 
Sorry, couldn't help myself!  :D

Thank you Geeme for that piece of knowledge you have bestowed upon us.

Gemee it's unlike you to give a vegetarian response.
 
 
I googled plenty. It's the Asian. The Turkish one is much wider. I've seen all the sites you listed, and many more. They all give roughly the same info, which isn't much.
 
I was just razzin ya.
 
The goat horn used to be very popular before supers took over...
 
Been years since I grew it,can't remember what I did with them - ate raw,cooked with it,dried as Paprika or more probably all of the above.
