Aji Cachucha Purple Splotched Pepper Plant

Price: $25.00 USD

Small, lantern-shaped Capsicum chinense from South America with pods that ripen to deep purple. Heat runs 10,000–50,000 SHU — solid heat with the fruity, aromatic character common to the aji family. Cachucha peppers are closely related to the Caribbean ajies used in sofrito and rice dishes. The purple coloring makes this one visually distinct in the garden. Good fresh or cooked into sauces.
