Aji Charapita Seeds: Yellow fiery fruits
The origins of the Aji Charapita pepper can be traced all the way back to Peru, where it garnered the nickname "the mother of all chillies" due to its historical and cultural significance in South America. This is one truly special pepper that deserves your attention.
Although small and unassuming in size, the Aji Charapita can reach anywhere between 30,000 and 50,000 SHU with ease. Certainly a step up from the humble jalapeno. In terms of flavours, it's very close to what the Habanero has to offer. Teeming with bitterness but with some sweet notes. It has a bright yellow, berry-like appearance that is eye-catching and bound to brighten up any growing area with ease.
When it comes to cultivating Aji Charapita, growers of all levels of expertise are in for a treat. This is a plant that stays mostly to the ground, sprouting short, compact bushes that are incredibly easy to manage. Taking around 90 days to mature, the fiery yellow fruits will be yours for the taking before you know it.
