Hot Pepper Aji Lemon (Capsicum baccatum)

Hot Pepper Aji Lemon, also known as Aji Limon or Lemon Drop, is a striking Peruvian chili variety cherished for its bright yellow color, tangy citrus flavor, and medium heat. This unique chili adds a vibrant touch to gardens and culinary creations, making it a favorite among spice enthusiasts and gourmet cooks.

Plant Characteristics

The Aji Lemon plant is a vigorous grower, reaching a height of 60–90 cm, with a bushy structure that supports its heavy fruit production. It produces slender, elongated peppers measuring 6–8 cm in length and weighing approximately 10–15 grams. The fruits mature from green to a vivid lemon-yellow, with a smooth, glossy texture. Known for its high productivity, this variety yields abundantly throughout the growing season.

Flavor and Nutritional Qualities

The Aji Lemon chili is renowned for its zesty citrus flavor, complemented by a medium heat level of 15,000–30,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Packed with vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and capsaicin, these chilies not only elevate the flavor of dishes but also provide numerous health benefits, including immune support and enhanced metabolism.

Cultivation Recommendations

Aji Lemon thrives in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining a soil temperature of 24–30°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when temperatures are consistently warm, spacing plants 50–60 cm apart. Regular watering, mulching, and light fertilization will encourage healthy growth and abundant fruiting. Fruits typically mature in 90–100 days after transplanting, offering a steady supply of chilies.

Applications and Uses

The tangy, citrusy flavor of Aji Lemon makes it ideal for fresh salsas, marinades, and hot sauces. Its vibrant yellow color adds a decorative flair to dishes, while its fruity heat enhances soups, stews, and grilled meats. The peppers can also be dried to create a flavorful chili powder or flakes for seasoning.
