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.

Aji Jobito
C. Chinense
0 – 500 SHU
The Aji Jobito Chilli is A VERY RARE chilli pepper from Venezuela. The following review done by our friend Nigel Carter sums up this pepper beautifully…
“This is a truly astonishing pepper… This is the best tasting non-hot C.Chinense I’ve ever eaten, bar none. I`ve eaten a few, too!… A great looking pepper, to my eyes, and it is even better when you bite into it. The flavours are really sweet, rich and complex. There is a little C.Chinense flavor mixed in there, too, but it isn’t strong. The aftertaste is very rich and nutty, like raw almonds or Brazil nuts.

Aji Mango Stumpy
C.Baccatum
20,000 – 30,000 SHUWhat an absolute ripper this one is. Created by the pepperlover crew this is the stumpy version that has all the same qualities as the original longer pheno type. Crazy producer of 3cm x 1cm sized fruit/pods the Aji Mango will blow you away. Ripening to a deep bright yellow the fruit taste sweet and fruity. Yes as its namesake implies it does have a hint of mango like fruity flavour. As for what it would be good with we can only say SAUCE SAUCE SAUCE. But we have it on everything from pizza to pasta to salads. Do yourself a favour and grow this one.

Aji Melocoton Yellow
C. Baccatum
Approx. 10,000 – 30,000 SHUWhat do we have here, a yellow Aji Melocoton. First ever that we know of… Melocoton means peach in spanish so we should really call this one Aji Melocoton aka Amarillo. You can’t go wrong with baccatum’s for flavour and this one is very citrusy sweet with slight lemon undertones. Originally created by Judy at Pepperlover why not be one of the first to grow the yellow variety. The plant grows tall and gangly, needing a good staking in its first year. Super prolific with non seedy fruit that change from green to a lovely yellow. We have grown it out twice and gotten the yellow variety each time but who knows you may even get another surprise colour.

Aji Norteno

2,000-3,000 SHUA gorgeous Aji pepper from northern Peru. The name of the Aji Norteno translates to “northern aji” because it is a variety that is only popular in the northern coastal valleys of Peru.

Traditionally eaten with fish, this chilli pepper possesses a slightly fruity flavour without too much killer heat.

Aji Panca
C. Chinense
1,000 – 2,000 SHUGet the grill on for this little beauty. Also referred to as the Aji Brown the pods grow a brown/blackish colour up to 12-14 cms long and 2-3 cms wide with the plant itself growing to a massive 6ft. It’s known for its rich smokey sweet complex flavour that is just perfect for making hot BBQ sauces and rubs. Also an ideal chilli for making a mexican mole which does justice to its chocolate berry flavour. We mostly love these grilled as it brings out the most irresistible smokey flavour imaginable. Grill it with rice, sausage and cheese filling for a flavour sensation.

Aji Peanut
C. Baccatum
8,500 – 10,000 SHU Aprox.
Well again we have a interesting cool variety that clearly is shaped like its name – the Aji Peanut chilli pepper. A very uncommon baccatum variety we came across that got our attention. The mature fruits look quite like a peanut shell and are deep red in colour. Hot enough to get your attention with the plant growing a bit gangly at 60-80cms tall. Take your time to warm to this one but be assured it’s a great producer and easy maintenance. We recommend you give it a crack.

Easy maintenance and a fine one for pepping up something like a pizza.
