Description:
The Aji Pineapple pepper is a rare and exotic variety originating from Peru. This Capsicum baccatum pepper stands out from the crowd with its vibrant appearance and tropical taste. It is very similar to the Aji Lemon Drop pepper but has a slightly different flavor. The Aji Pineapple gets its name from it’s unique flavor among baccatum types. Many baccatum peppers have a mild, sweet, and fruity flavor. However, the Aji Pineapple are much more tart, citrusy, and floral.
The pendant shaped pepper pods reach 2-3 inches in length. They start green and mature to a sunny yellow or orange. The Aji Pineapple pepper plants grow to about 2-4 feet tall. If you are on the lookout for a high producing variety, this is the pepper for you. It produces enormous yields. One plant may produce several dozen peppers.
With a moderate heat level (typically 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units), they offer a beautiful balance of spiciness and sweetness, similar to fresh pineapple. Perfect for adding a zesty punch to salsas, sauces, and marinades, the Aji Pineapple chili promises to elevate your culinary creations with its exotic charm.
