Aji Chinchi Amarillo Hot Pepper

Days to Maturity: 59 days

Quantity: Approximately 0.3 g or about 36–60 seeds, (sows 21–60 ft of transplants)

The Aji Amarillo pepper (C. baccatum) is fruity, flavorful, with medium-high heat. A heavy yielder and a favorite in our 2016 pepper taste test, this pepper is a key ingredient in Peruvian cuisine. This rare “Chinchi” strain bears smaller peppers, about 3 × ½ in., and matures much earlier in the season than the standard Aji Amarillo.
