Aji Charapita Amarillo

Heat: Hot (40,000 SHU)

100 Days. A wild Capsicum chinense from the north Peruvian jungle, known as the "Mother of All Chillies." Tiny 6 mm round yellow pods that are extraordinarily rare and hard to source outside Peru, prized above all for their vibrant citrus aroma and fruity heat β€” a cornerstone ingredient in traditional Peruvian jungle cuisine.

Wild, bushy plants produce hundreds of pods throughout the season and perform well in warm, sunny conditions with fertile, well-drained soil. An exceptional variety for the serious grower.

Harvest: Pick when pods are fully yellow for peak citrus flavour and heat.
Flavour: Distinct fruity citrus aroma with bright, lively heat.
