Aji Charapita Amarillo Capsicum chinense

Medium hot, ~40,000 SHUs

This pepper is the most expensive in the world! The north Peruvian jungle native is a wild bushy plant which produces hundreds of hot, small (6 mm), round peppers. Due to its rarity and hefty prices, it is often known as the "Mother of All Chilis" and is very hard to source outside of Peru.
Flavour: distinct fruity, citrus aroma.
