Beaver Dam Peppers

Beaver Dam peppers are a rare and heirloom variety of pepper that originated in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, USA. These peppers are medium-sized, with a distinctive wrinkled appearance and a bright red color when mature. They have a sweet and slightly smoky flavor and are moderately spicy, with a Scoville rating of around 5,000 to 15,000. They are primarily used in making hot sauce, salsas, and other spicy dishes.

The Beaver Dam Pepper is a popular variety among gardeners due to its unique appearance and flavor, as well as its ability to thrive in colder climates. These peppers are typically grown as annuals and can be started from seeds indoors or sown directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. To grow Beaver Dam Organic Pepper Seeds, you will need the following materials:
  • Beaver Dam Organic Pepper Seeds
  • Seed-starting mix or soil
  • Seed-starting trays or small pots
  • Watering can or spray bottle
  • Grow lights or a sunny location
  • Fertilizer (optional)
Here are the steps to grow Beaver Dam Organic Pepper Seeds:
  1. Start by filling your seed-starting trays or small pots with seed-starting mix or soil.
  2. Plant one seed per pot or cell, planting the seed to a depth of about 1/4 inch.
  3. Water the soil lightly, being careful not to overwater.
  4. Place the pots or trays in a sunny location or under grow lights.
  5. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, watering whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
  6. Once the seedlings have grown to about 2 inches tall and have their first true leaves, they can be transplanted to larger pots or directly into the garden.
  7. If planting in the garden, choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  8. Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of several days.
  9. Transplant the seedlings into the garden, spacing them about 18 inches apart.
  10. Water the plants well and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer if desired.
Historically, the Beaver Dam Pepper was used for its medicinal properties, including as a treatment for colds and sore throats. It was also believed to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, making it useful for treating conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism. However, it’s important to note that these medicinal benefits are largely anecdotal and have not been scientifically proven. Today, the Beaver Dam Pepper is primarily grown for its culinary uses, with its unique flavor and appearance making it a favorite among hot sauce makers and chefs alike.
