Aji Charapita - Peach
Heat: Hot (40,000 SHU)
100 Days. A close relative of the Charapita Amarillo, this wild Capsicum chinense from the northern Peruvian jungle produces hundreds of tiny 10 mm round peach-coloured pods — slightly larger than its yellow cousin but equally rare and prized for its vibrant fruity citrus aroma and sharp, lingering heat. A cornerstone of traditional Peruvian jungle cuisine and an exceptional find for the serious grower.
Wild, bushy plants produce abundantly throughout the season in warm, sunny conditions with fertile, well-drained soil.
Harvest: Pick when pods are fully peach-coloured for peak citrus flavour and heat.
Flavour: Distinct fruity citrus aroma with a sharp, lingering heat.
