Also called Aji Crystal, this Peruvian Baccatum ranges from mild when green to hotter when ripe.? One of the earlier producers in a Midwestern garden.? Heavy larger fruit on a lankier plant may necessitate staking.? The peppers, both unripe and ripe, are crunchy with thick walls.? Fruit are commonly eaten green/yellow.? Great in salsas.? I have found a special place for aji cristal as a hot sauce ingredient to help taper the heat of superhots.? In fermented sauces, fresh aji cristal peppers are blended in at finish until a desired taste is reached (if pasteurizing the fermented sauce).??
30000 SHU. This is an estimate. Scoville ratings will change based on growing conditions.
