Thanks for the info. My grandmother (grew up in Italy) used to dry them on strings over the furnace in the cellar. She would then fry some of them in olive oil and can them. No one could handle being in the house while she was frying them (most folks would probably need a gas mask), but it didn't bother her at all. LOL!
I hung mine on a string to dry last year. It took weeks. I saved the seeds from some of them, and used my coffee grinder to grind them into cayenne powder. Strongest, freshest powder ever, much better than the store!

Oxygen is the enemy of dehydrated chilies, which is why if I buy in bulk I like them dry but still slightly pliable - then poke a few holes in the bag and slide the entire bag into a cryovac bag and vaccum seal it - it will compress quite small as the air is removed. Then I'll only open and re-dry some to brittle stage and grind enough to last me a month or two, so that the powder stays fresh and fruity too (powder is much more perishable than whole dried peppers, due to the increased surface area, and the loss of an intact skin to protect the interior from oxidizing). Dried & compacted in cryovac, I've found they can last up to several years and still maintain their fruity complexity ... but once you grind them, they begin to decline and lose their fruity complexity in a few short weeks.
I’m Montagnard indigenous , live in North Carolina, I eat pepper everyday even in the morning I eat with soup too , I love to have you fresh chili it’s look good.
Today, I did this with Tabasco on a dehydrator. I made the mistake of rubbing the dust in my eye [It was freaking Hot] Will do a second run once all the peppers turn red.

I just finished loading the dehydrator with peppers, myself. If you're going to do much drying, it really is worth getting a dehydrator. Plus, you have much better temperature control. I dry mine at a lower temp for much longer so the color doesn't get too dark (particularly with yellow peppers). You should really try some other seasoning peppers as well. You can make some of the best chili powder you've ever tasted, and you know what??? Fresh paprika actually has a flavor!! haha! I always thought of paprika as mostly for color. But, if you grow your own peppers and dry them, wow! You'll never go back!
Makes great flakes Thanks! My new book, coauthored with my friend Chiara D'Amore, is available for preorder. Growing an Edible Landscape: How to Transform Your Outdoor Space into a Food Garden Available for preorder on Amazon: amzn.to/3o1xiTZ

I've heard that letting the chilli plant dry out in between watering to the point where the plant wilts will increase the capsaicin in the fruit, not sure how true it is but i've had some fairly hot chillies this year
TIP: DEHYDRATING & GRINDING RED BELL PEPPERS INTO POWDER. I experimented last night, and found that deseeding and cutting ripe red bell peppers into 1/4" dice, and dehydrating them overnight at around 140F in a food dehydrator works perfectly - so well that after cooling I was easily able to grind them into a fine powder in my spice grinder. About 5 med-large red bell peppers yielded enough powder to fill a standard spice bottle. I promptly used 2 tsp of the powder to flavor the flour for a fresh batch of homemade flour tortillas, and they came out great too. Cheers. Hope this link works: goo.gl/photos/vQx9om7j6Vo6xPxG6

I'm growing hot peppers for the first time (Cayenne and Thai Dragon Chili). I was thinking of combining these peppers and making one pepper product, either grind to powder or coarsely crushed in a baggie. What do you think? Or, should I keep these pepper types separate?

Hi Gary! Thanks for the video! This is my first year planting hot peppers - I don't like spicy but hubby does so I'm giving it a go. I'm wondering if you leave all hot peppers on the plant to harvest at the same time or only certain varieties? I have jalapeno, tabasco, shishito and cayenne peppers this year and assumed that I would pick them a few times a week just like I do with my bell and sweet peppers. Clearly, I have much to learn about hot peppers. Any help would be great regarding my particular varieties - except for the cayenne, which your video covered. Thanks!
Gary what liquid fertilizer should I use in my containers? I grow tomato, cabbage, summer squash, zucchini, cucumbers, red and yellow onions and finally sweet and hot pepper all in 32 inch containers. I had been using cow manure, Epsom salt, egg shells and banana peals. tried to keep costs down as this as my first year to try gardening. I think the plants were under nourished. Thank you ahead of time. Cheers
Yeah al that needs to further compost a breakdown. You want water soluble which is immediate available. Organic, fish emulsion but it stinks. Any water soluble fertilizer that is organic. IF you don't mind non organic products Miracle Gro at 1/4 to 1/2 strength works great for containers.
nice container but if you dont move it then why not cut the bottom out of it for more root expansion and plastic holds moisture i store my cayannes in brown paper sacks with good results and no mold
That container has holes for drainage. But it wasn't intended to stay there. It just did. I do sunken containers where I cut out the bottom for that reason.
You mentioned using the neem oil on them. Do you have to be concerned with any of the neem oil getting on the peppers and needing to be washed off of them before drying?
I would rinse them if you are using anything. I am not really worried about the neem but the soap I use with it. However, I tend to stop spraying 10-14 days before I pick stuff for massive drying or pickling etc.
Hi Gary, Not sure where the best place is to ask you a question about your tomato seeds that you sell on your blog. Specifically I wanted to find out what the source was for your black cherry tomato seeds? Are they from the strain that tomato growers supply sells? Thanks. The pepper bulk package looks interesting... I may have to get that one as well :) Thanks.
Unless they say bulk like in the package deal they all come from my plants. I dont recall where the original BC came from but most of my seeds came from Tomato Growers catalog at some point originally.
Yeah I decided to pick out peppers that I want to grow next year and offer them. Good mix of heat and uses. Some mild heat to silly hot. But I like them.
Weird question but as they are cooking/drying is there any issues with the air in your kitchen getting spicy or make you cough? I imagine not since it is such low temperature but just curious as I'm sensitive to that kind of thing.
Perhaps a stupid question, Gary, but can zip this process be done with ANY hot pepper? I’m looking for ideas on how to use my habaneros that are coming in. Planning to make a pineapple habanero salsa, but wondering what else I can do. Thanks!
It could but cayennes have thin skins so it is faster. Habs are a bit thicker. But I would test it.

good crop. I'm new to growing. live in the UK. and haven't had the time and resourses, so I only got about 20 peppers so far off 7 plants in a small polytunnel but about another 60 peppers still green (end of September now!). problem is there was no heat! they've only been feed around two or three times since planted and didn't get much quality compost each. wondered if it's worth doing them again (can I bring them indoors to survive winter? ready for mcg year). Any1 from Midlands UK got any advice, tips etc. please?
scratch all that. they're hot. it was just one plant I had indoors failed. the one s in the poly are brilliant. just hope they'll turn red before it frosts !
Yeah i'm growing some in the South West. Didn't realize they needed fertilizer so theyve had none of that. Only one on the plant at the moment and it's still small and green. Not sure if i shoudl just pick it or wait...
Gary, I am growing cayenne peppers in central California zone 9b and I'm having a big problem with leaf miners. What are you doing to prevent and remove these pests. Any help would be great and appreciated. Thanks.
We don't get them often. I found neem oil helped but others have said it didn't. Regular spraying with neem oil did the trick with mine. Found them on chard. You want Neem with the Azadirachtin in it. 100% cold pressed. Check out my video on it.
How many plants were in that pot? I wouldn't think that you could yield that many on one plant. This is my first year growing peppers so I don't know to much.
+shlatvokatamum One plant will give you more than you might think with Cayennes. They probably came from two plants at the most. But they are really productive.

I like making my own bottled Hot Sauce out of some of them also Thanks for sharing great info
I know this comment is a year old, but I would LOVE to have your recipe for making hot sauce!
Today, I did this with Tabasco on a dehydrator. I made the mistake of rubbing the dust in my eye [It was freaking Hot] Will do a second run once all the peppers turn red.
You could also use a coffee grinder, magic bullet, or other device to pulverize en masse. I do this with my paprika peppers!
Thanks for the tip. I just harvested my chilis and used this method. Can't wait to try it on pizza.
Excellent. Ill be doing this soon

Wow, always though of paprika as color spice too.

Yeah i'm growing some in the South West. Didn't realize they needed fertilizer so theyve had none of that. Only one on the plant at the moment and it's still small and green. Not sure if i shoudl just pick it or wait...
anyone know how long the plant can live for?
Peppers will go years if they dont freeze out.
Gary, I am growing cayenne peppers in central California zone 9b and I'm having a big problem with leaf miners. What are you doing to prevent and remove these pests. Any help would be great and appreciated.
Thanks.
We don't get them often. I found neem oil helped but others have said it didn't. Regular spraying with neem oil did the trick with mine. Found them on chard. You want Neem with the Azadirachtin in it. 100% cold pressed. Check out my video on it.
thank you for your support
How many plants were in that pot? I wouldn't think that you could yield that many on one plant. This is my first year growing peppers so I don't know to much.
+shlatvokatamum One plant will give you more than you might think with Cayennes. They probably came from two plants at the most. But they are really productive.
+Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) I have one plant and only have about 7 peppers on it. :(
why are my cayenne peppers red, but not long and skinny
There are different varieties of cayenne
How does it taste compared to the generic pepper flakes you can buy at the store?
Much more flavor. I think there is a sweetness at first, flavor of the pepper and then the heat.
Are seeds still good to plant after being dehyrated.?
Not typically as you dry out the little bit of water in the seed and it is no longer viable.

How long in the oven at 173 degrees?
You just have to check them as humidity plays roll.

Have you tried drying naturally by tying them up into a bundle and hanging?
I have, hard to do here cause it is always so humid.

What if you want them to be dry but not brittle
Take them out a bit early. You can feel the texture.

Gary Pilarchik do you mean for like 3 hours instead of five
Can you dry them under the sun?
You can but it takes time and insects can land on them, and rain.
How do you get so many?
Several plants
are they a hot pepper?
Yes. Not like Habanero or Ghost Pepper hot, but, they are hot.
Is that just one plant in the pot?
Yes but this year I started growing 2 in one space. Working very well.
