Aji Pineapple: The Tropical and Fruity Touch of Peru
The Aji Pineapple is a notable Peruvian variety of the Capsicum baccatum species, known for its vibrant yellow color and a flavor profile that suggests the tropical fruits for which it is named. Like other Aji peppers, it is very productive and valued for its unique flavor, being an excellent choice for exotic cuisine and sauces.
Medium Intensity and Sharply Fruity Flavor.
Heat Level (Medium/Hot): Its heat is medium to hot, typically ranging between 20,000 and 50,000 Scoville Units (SHU). This intensity is higher than a Jalapeño but lower than a Habanero, providing a notable kick that does not destroy the palate, allowing its tropical flavor to stand out.
Unique Tropical Flavor: The flavor profile is its greatest attraction. It features a notable sweetness combined with a strong fruity and citrus touch, which many describe as specifically Pineapple or sweet tropical fruits. It has crunchy and juicy pulp, typical of baccatum.
Vibrant Appearance and Exotic Applications.
Shape and Color: The fruits are elongated and conical, about 5 to 10 cm long. They ripen from green to a bright and vibrant yellow.
Usage: Aji Pineapple is ideal where flavor is crucial. It is perfect for tropical hot sauces, marinades for grilling, and for combining directly with exotic fruits in fresh salsas. It is also excellent when dried and ground into an aromatic powder.
Aji Pineapple - SHU 50,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification sticker of species, origin and heat.
