Translylvania Slim Jim

The Transylvania Slim Jim pepper, created by Matt at Matt’s Peppers, is a unique and striking variety that combines the best traits of two distinct pepper varieties: the Count Dracula and Thunder Mountain Longhorn. Known for its long, slender shape, this pepper matures into a deep red color. Offering an impressive SHU up to 50,000, it falls into the "Medium" heat level category, delivering a vibrant and intense heat profile.

Transylvania Slim Jim plants are robust, growing to a height of 3-4 feet, making them suitable for both garden and container cultivation. The pods themselves are slender, measuring around 3-4 inches in length, with a wrinkled skin that gives them a unique texture.

In terms of flavor, this pepper delivers a balanced profile with initial fruity notes that quickly transition to a sharp, vinegary heat. This makes it ideal for hot sauces, pickling, and adding spice to a variety of dishes. Its moderate heat level allows it to enhance flavors without overpowering, offering versatility in the kitchen.
