The Peach Aji Challuaruro is an exciting hybrid pepper born at Innovation Acre, blending the fiery heat of the Red Aji Challuaruro with the sweet, tropical flavor of the Peach Habanero. This unique pepper offers a Scoville heat range of 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, placing it in the medium to hot category. The heat builds gradually, providing a steady, lingering warmth without overwhelming the taste buds.
Its flavor profile is an exquisite combination of fruity, peach-like sweetness and earthy, smoky heat. The initial sweetness hits the palate first, followed by a pleasant, moderate spiciness that adds depth to dishes without overshadowing them. This balance makes it a versatile choice for anyone seeking both heat and flavor.
The Peach Aji Challuaruro is perfect for a variety of culinary uses. It can be incorporated into hot sauces, salsas, and marinades, offering a unique sweet-heat fusion that elevates meats, vegetables, and seafood. Its vibrant flavor also makes it ideal for garnishing tacos, salads, or sandwiches, or for adding a zesty kick to jams and jellies.
Visually, the pepper is striking, with its smooth skin transitioning from green to a rich peach color as it ripens. Please note that this cross is still in the process of being stabilized so you may notice variations in color, texture, or shape.
