Hot Pepper, Aji Colorado (Organic)

Capsicum baccatum. Medium Hot. 90 days.

Thin-walled hot pepper great for drying and grinding into powder, and also good eaten fresh or made into hot sauce. Aji Colorado produces 2-3” long bright red fruit that are hotter than a Jalapeño but not quite as hot as a Cayenne and the heat dissipates quickly. Sweet fruity flavor complements the heat. Like many C. baccatum species peppers, Aji Colorado has a unique aromatic character reminiscent of pine or citrus peel. Cold weather tolerant and holds quality late into the season. This excellent, high-yielding short-season adapted variety came to us via Strictly Medicinal Seeds of Williams, Oregon. Originally from Peru and Bolivia.

Geographical Origin

Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered. Up pot seedlings into 4” pots when they have their first two true leaves. Transplant out into the garden after danger of frost has passed, typically late May in western Oregon.

Seed Saving

To save seed, wait until fruit is fully ripe. Remove seeds from fruit and dry. Isolate from other pepper varieties of the same species by at least 500 feet.
