Product information
Aji Lemon Pepper
Aji Lemon Pepper
Scoville heat units: 15,000 – 30,000
Its hotter than a Serrano Chilli, Milder than Tobasco chilli. About double to 12 times more heat than a Jalapeno. Why the huge scale difference? The heat of a chilli can be different even on the same plant. The hotter the environment, the more stress the plant might feel, the length of time it takes for the Chilli to mature and ripen, all effect the heat.
If you love both citrus tang and peppery spice, then the lemon drop pepper is a chili that you must get to know. The lemon drop (also known as ají limon) is growing in popularity, both for eating and as an ornamental pepper due to its golden-yellow color when mature.
The heat is significant without being overbearing, making this – with its lemony tang – a chili that’s perfect for spicier salsas and citrus-based homemade hot sauces. Plus, it’s very popular in its native Peru as a tangy seasoning for meals and snacks.
This Chilli is a great substitute for Habanero or Scotch bonnet chillis, as they all have fruity undertones, but this chilli is a lot milder than their hotter cousins.
Use for fruit based salsas, hot sauces. This works well with fish and chicken dishes.
As a bonus, this is a very decorative plant. For those who live in frost free areas, this plant can be kept for a few years. If you live in a frosty area, by container planting these tasty beauties, you can move them indoors over the winter times.
