- Product number: 207705
- Origin: South America
- Latin: Capsicum frutescens
Rare (and) beautiful, this salmon-yellow, peach-coloured Aji Charapita, very tasty, but also quite hot! The plants bear hundreds of round fruits per plant. They grow upright on the plant and the common wild variety is very popular in Bolivia and Peru. In almost every restaurant, you will be offered a portion of "Criolla", a mix of chopped red onions, lemon juice, salt, water and crushed Charapitas: very tasty! People who don't know this pepper often think that these round balls are corn or beans, be careful if you are in South America... They are about as hot as the wild Tépin pepper!
