Adjoema Mustard
C. Chinense
Approx. 400,000 – 500,000 SHUThis ones hotter than is usual in a habanero variety but tastes sensational. We got this from the chilli grower extraordinaire Alice Lennard. One of the few mustard varieties we’ve grown that turn full mustard colour on bush before going soft. ie. A lot of mustard types go soft before fully turning Mustard colour. We don’t know a great deal about this one but it grows like a typical hab and the pods are hab size. Glad we grew this one and highly recommend for flavour.

AFGHANI PEPPER
C.Annuum
10,000-20,000 SHUThe Afghani pepper is an interesting rare chilli pepper from Afghanistan. It has a dry, tough, bitter and sharp taste when eaten raw however it makes a fantastic dried powder as it has a very strong hot acidic taste which may not be found in other chillis. Although not recommended for any use other than powders, flakes, or rubs it is one we love to use dried.

After Glow – Space Chilli (HJ 10)
C.Annuum
Approx. 6,000-10,000 SHUThis is one of the most prolific of the space chillies and grows red. Up to 40 fruit on the plant at once and it just keeps pumping them out. Very similar to a cayenne look and taste wise but quite a bit sweeter. Like the cayenne chilli pepper this one is very versatile but we love them fresh or pickled.
“For many decades work has been going on by the Chinese who have been sending seeds into orbit on satellites exposing them to zero gravity. It has become apparent that the trip into space is creating higher yields, bigger produce, and an increase in the levels of nutrients in the resulting fruit.”

Aji Amarillo
C. Baccatum
Aprox. 30,000 – 50,000 SHUWhat a flavour sensation this one is…The Aji Amarillo pepper is literally named “yellow chilli pepper” and is grown extensively in Peru. The fruit have a thick skin and grow to approximately 15cms long and 2cms wide. Not too hot as chillies go this one balances heat with an awesome fruity flavour reminiscent of mango and passion-fruit. You have to taste it to believe it. This one makes a great paste but is terrific in sweet curries. The Aji Armarillo is also super easy to grow and pumps out lots and lots of fruit over its long growing season.

Aji Camba
C.Baccatum
Approx 30,000 – 60,000 SHUNot much is known about this rare chilli except that it is quite a rare one from Peru. It ripens up from white through to red and sometimes you will get some stunning purple striations as it does. Pod size is on average 2-3cms and they have a slightly sweet and salty flavour. If you love chillies that display a multitude of colours then this is a great one to grow – almost could be classed as an ornamental but tastier.

Aji Colorado (Orange Variant)
C.Baccatum
20,000 – 30,000 SHUWe grew this one expecting the usual red variety but it has consistently thrown out amazing fluorescent orange pods – we love it. It is fast growing, fairly compact and a very prolific chilli pepper. The original Aji Colorado, from which this is a variant, is native to Bolivia and Peru. Packed with flavour these sweet-spicy, thin-walled chillies are extremely versatile. We love this pepper made into a powder as it really brings out the best of its flavour profile.

Aji Fantasy Peach
C. Baccatum
5,000 – 10,000 SHUThe Aji Peach Fantasy is probably our favourite Fantasy variety for taste. We think it has a real mellow melon flavour. Ours didn’t grow very star shaped but it was very sweet with a mild bite at the placenta like the other Aji Fantasy varieties. It has thick juicy flesh with a great crunch making it great to eat straight off the plant. The fruit start a translucent white then slowly ripen to peach. The bush does not grow large so it would be excellent in a patio pot. It sets masses of fruit for most of the year and did we mention it LOOKS GREAT Too.
