Aji Crystal pepper (Pisum baccatum)
This variety originates from Curico in Chile. Many consider that this variety tastes best before reaching maturity. We can thus harvest the still immature fruit, which enormously stimulates its productivity, making it one of the most productive pepper plants there is. Immature fruits are pale yellow-green, and when mature turn orange-red. Their taste is reminiscent of citrus. 30,000 on the Scoville scale. Our aji Chrystal plants have been isolated (put under greenhouse and fine nets).
