Aji Cristal

Hot Pepper

Aji Cristal

A Chilean aji pepper with a bodacious blend of citrusy flavor and heat. This slender, 4-inch pepper transforms from green to yellow and finally, a pale red, and the heat intensifies as the fruit reaches maturity. This crisp-fleshed pepper clocks in at about 30,000 Scoville Heat Units, which is six times hotter than a jalapeƱo.

This is an all-around versatile pepper that can be used fresh, for pickling, hot sauce, salsas, soups, and dried and kept longer for seasoning.
