Citrusy Hot Spice
The Aji Rico Hot Pepper, originating from South America, is a notable cultivar renowned for its medium heat and distinctive flavor profile. While it doesn't have distinct subspecies, this cultivar is celebrated for its versatility in various culinary applications.
The Aji Rico plant showcases a compact, bushy growth habit, making it suitable for container gardening or smaller garden spaces. Its dense foliage comprises vibrant green leaves, creating an appealing ornamental presence.
The peppers of the Aji Rico variety exhibit a stunning color palette as they mature, transitioning from a vibrant green to shades of yellow, orange, or red. Known for their fruity and slightly citrusy flavor, these peppers offer a medium heat level, adding depth and complexity to dishes without overpowering the palate.
When planting from seed, the Aji Rico thrives in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Start the seeds indoors in early spring, approximately 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Maintain a warm and consistent temperature of around 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.
Transplant the seedlings into larger containers or the garden once the risk of frost has passed. The plant prefers full sun exposure and requires regular watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering.
With its versatile flavor, vibrant appearance, and manageable size, the Aji Rico Hot Pepper is a favored choice among culinary enthusiasts looking to add a balanced heat and distinctive taste to their dishes.

Working great
I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.

I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
