| Notes | (Capsicum baccatum). A seasoning pepper from Peru that ripens to a clear lemon yellow, sometimes with a dark purple blush. The flavor is a very clean, uncomplicated, slightly citrusy heat. The Aji Lemon Drop pepper, also known as "Lemon Drop" or by its Peruvian name "Aji Limon," is a hot pepper variety known for its citrusy flavor and bright yellow color. Here are some of its defining characteristics: Heat Level: It is a hot pepper, with a Scoville heat unit rating typically between 15,000 to 30,000, which places it at a moderate heat level compared to other hot peppers. Flavor: The Aji Lemon Drop has a distinctive lemony flavor, which is tangy and refreshing. This makes it a popular choice for adding a fruity heat to dishes. Appearance: The peppers are elongated and tapered, measuring about 2 to 3 inches in length. They mature to a vibrant yellow color, which is where they get their "Lemon Drop" name. Plant Characteristics: The plants are relatively tall and can grow up to 3 feet or more. They are prolific producers and can be grown in containers or in the ground. Culinary Uses: Aji Lemon Drop peppers are often used in salsas, sauces, and marinades. They can be used fresh, dried, or pickled, and their unique flavor complements seafood and poultry dishes especially well. Growing Season: Like most peppers, they have a long growing season and prefer warm temperatures. They can be started indoors and transplanted outside after the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. The Aji Lemon Drop is a favorite among pepper enthusiasts who appreciate its combination of heat and citrus flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. https://tomatogrowers.com/products/lemon-drop |
