TABASCO^® brand Pepper Pulp

ABASCO^® brand Pepper Pulp is a pungent pepper pulp prepared from aged red peppers, fermented with salt, mixed with high-quality vinegar and then screened to separate the fleshy pepper pulp from seeds and skins. The resulting product has the unique flavor profile of Original TABASCO^® brand Pepper Sauce in a semi-moist form.

A special ingredient for sauces, TABASCO^® brand Pepper Pulp is an intermediate moisture product consisting only of the fleshy pulp of our proprietary Capsicum frutescens pepper that has completed the same aging, fermentation, and mixing process as Original TABASCO^® brand Pepper Sauce. TABASCO^® brand Pepper Pulp provides texture, flavor enhancement and heat that are certain to complement many products. Usage levels of 0.5% to 5.0% in finished sauces provide a twist or kick depending upon how much you add.

APPLICATIONS
Being an intermediate moisture product with a very visual particulate, this can be used wherever a visual particulate and the great flavor of TABASCO^® are desired. The moisture is about 15% and the particulate is a fine red fiber from the meat of the capsicum frutescens variety tabasco pepper.
