Aji Pineapple Pepper
20,000 Scoville Heat Units
It’s easy to see why Aji Pinapple pepper is a favorite of the Peruvian community. These 2.5 inch, light yellow things are bursting with tropical flavor. They are also not so hot that flavor is diminished in any way. For a spicy/hot pepper lover like me, frying and cooking are how I best utilize this pepper. It’s delicious, fruity tones brings tremendous flavorings to my rice, soups and beans! A little spicier than a Jalapeno, flavor is what makes Aji Pineapple stand out. Short plants are prolific but a little later, so be patient! Great for drying for flakes and powder is highly recommended too!

I think if my family could tolerate hot food, I would grow this every year, but we are truly only at the level of a jalapeno :) These plants produced like crazy. I felt like I harvested a couple handfuls of peppers, from 2 plants, every couple days. Nice, fruity, hot flavor.

I agree, Emmy. The flavor on Aji Pineapple pepper is fruity. I tolerate really hot peppers so this is just medium mild to me. Thanks for the feedback!
