Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about Lemon Drop pepper heat, growing requirements, fruit ripening, and the difference between similar Aji pepper varieties.
How hot is an Aji Limon or Lemon Drop pepper?
Aji Limon peppers are commonly reported at approximately 30,000–50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). They have noticeable heat along with a fruity, lemon-like flavor. Their combination of citrus notes and spiciness makes them suitable for hot sauces, salsas, marinades, and dried pepper seasonings.
What is the difference between Aji Limon and Aji Limo peppers?
Aji Limon, also called Lemon Drop, is generally identified as Capsicum baccatum and produces yellow, citrus-flavored peppers when ripe. Aji Limo is a different pepper commonly identified as Capsicum chinense and is generally known for red or orange-red fruits and a different flavor profile. Check the botanical name when purchasing seeds because the similar names can cause confusion.
Why are my Aji Limon peppers staying green instead of turning yellow?
Aji Limon peppers begin green and gradually develop their characteristic yellow color as they mature. Ripening can take several weeks after the fruits reach their full size. Insufficient sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and overall plant stress can affect fruit development. Provide suitable warmth, full sunlight, and consistent watering, and allow the fruits enough time to ripen on the plant.
