Aji Ayuyo-(Capsicum bacattum)-The Aji Ayuyo pepper is a cherished heirloom variety from Peru. Its appearance is stunning, resembling an Amethyst gem. These peppers take on the shape of elongated light purple jellybeans. As they ripen, they transition to a light orange and eventually a vibrant red. The taste is reminiscent of a wine grape, offering a sweet yet subtle sweetness accompanied by a medium level of heat. These chiles are incredibly juicy and are commonly used in sauces, fresh salsa, and as seasoning for soups and stews. The plants themselves are quite bushy and highly productive, reaching heights of over 4 feet.
