Golden cayenne pepper is elongated, slender, and slightly twisted, averaging 12 to 25 centimeters in length and 1 to 3 centimeters in diameter, and have a straight to curved, conical shape that tapers into a pointed tip on the non-stem end. The skin ripens from pale green to bright yellow when mature and is waxy and smooth. Underneath the surface, the flesh is thin, pale yellow, and crisp, encasing a central cavity filled with ivory membranes and a few flat and round, cream-colored seeds. Golden cayenne chili peppers have a sweet-tart, smoky flavor with a pungent, intense heat.
The plants are highly productive, growing up to forty fruits at one time, and provide visual interest with their bright yellow pods in green gardens. Like the red cayenne, Golden cayenne pepper is typically dried and ground into a powder as added flavoring and heat.
