Tabasco Sauce is famous. Not many people do not know about this hot sauce. Edmund McIlhenny grew his first commercial pepper crop in 1868. He labeled it “Tabasco,” a word of Mexican Indian origin believed to mean “place where the soil is humid” or “place of the coral or oyster shell.”
Furthermore, the diet of the Reconstruction South was bland and monotonous, especially by Louisiana standards. So, Edmund McIlhenny decided to create a pepper sauce to give the food some flavor and excitement.
Moreover, a food lover and avid gardener, Edmund McIlhenny was given seeds of Capsicum frutescens peppers that had come from Mexico or Central America. Therefore, on Avery Island in South Louisiana, he sowed the seeds, nurtured the plants and delighted in the spicy flavor of the peppers they bore.
Many years later field hands used a little red stick, or ‘le petit bâton rouge,’ to measure the ripeness of the peppers. Staying true to history of TABASCO® Brand, they still use it today to ensure the quality of our harvest.
