Lemon Drop (Ají Limón) is Peruvian pepper with pronounced lemon-citrus flavor. Rating 15,000-30000 SHU, it offers moderate heat with intensely citrusy taste. The bright yellow color is eye-catching. Essential in Peruvian cuisine particularly with seafood. The lemon flavor is not subtle – it’s remarkably citrus-forward. Perfect for ceviche and fresh salsas. C. baccatum species gives unique floral undertones. Very productive plants. The fruity-citrus flavor profile is unlike any C. annuum pepper. Fresh use preserves citrus notes best.
