Aji Dulce Pepper

Days to Maturity: 99 days

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

(C. chinense) A Venezuelan heirloom with a unique flavor profile. This pepper has the same shape, size, color, and aroma as a Habanero but is sweet, spicy, and delicious, with only a trace of heat. The highly aromatic fruits feature overtones of black pepper and coriander, with subtle spicy undertones. Perfect for sautéed vegetables, rice and bean dishes, paprika, or herbal vinegars.

The thin-walled pendant fruits are 1 x 2 in., tapering at both the stem and blossom end. Plants have good foliage cover, bearing at 18 in. high, with rapid growth later in the season reaching 48 in. or more.
