Aji Cachucha Purple Splotch: Exotic Sweetness and Purple Mist
The Aji Cachucha Purple Splotch (Capsicum chinense) is a rare Caribbean gem from Puerto Rico. Unlike its famous super-hot cousins, this variety is prized for its incomparable flavor and exceptional beauty.
The Magic of Color (Ornamental)
What makes the Purple Splotch unique is its stunning color transformation. Fruits start green and develop purple-violet mists and splotches before ripening to an intense red. This makes it a spectacular ornamental plant.
Caribbean Flavor Without the Burn (Mild)
Aji Cachucha is the "sweet relative" of the Habanero. Its heat level is low, around 500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This lack of nuclear spice allows its slightly smoky and complex fruity flavor to shine.
Key to Latin American Cuisine
In Caribbean and Venezuelan kitchens, this pepper is essential for traditional dishes like Sofrito and Hallaca. Its aromatic profile enhances stews and soups without adding excessive heat.
- Heat: Mild to none (0-500 SHU).
- Ideal for: Caribbean cuisine, Sofrito, fish dishes, and salads.
- Curiosity: The name Cachucha means "cap" or "bonnet," due to the shape of the fruits.
Aji Cachucha Purple Splotch - SHU 500. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification sticker of species, origin and heat.
