tabasco Pepper

The tabasco pepper a variety of the chile pepper  species Capsicum frutescent. It is best known through its use in Tabasco sauce , a trademarked product manufactured by McIlhenny Company of Aery Island, Louisiana . The word "tabasco" is rendered in lowercase when referring to the botanical variety, but in uppercase, "Tabasco", when referring to the actual trademarked brand name . Even though the word "tabasco" is the name of a Mexican state, this variety of pepper was first grown in large quantities in Louisiana.

Like all frutescent chilies, the tabasco plant has a typical bushy growth, which commercial cultivation makes stronger by trimming the plants. The tapered fruits, around 4 cm long, are initially pale yellowish-green and turn yellow and orange before ripening to bright red. Tabasco's rate from 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale of heat levels.

A large part of the tabasco pepper stock fell victim to the tobacco mosaic virus  in the 1960s , and the first resistant variety (Greenleaf tabasco) was not able to be cultured until around 1970.
