This striking selection produces unusually large, thick-bodied pods with deep folds, heavy lobing, and a distinctive pushed-in or recessed tip. The pods ripen from green to a brilliant red and are dramatically larger and heavier than the small, round fruit traditionally associated with the Aji Charapita.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe flavor is fruity and slightly floral, followed by a powerful, building burn.

Future generations may produce some especially interesting phenotypes, making this an exciting variety for growers who enjoy working with developing crosses and making their own selections.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10–20 seeds per pack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NCpepperseeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49516280742147,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/8460\/7235\/files\/FullSizeRender_d1ea02a5-920e-4068-a998-57e84cc7500d.heic?v=1787665908","url":"https:\/\/ncpepperseeds.com\/products\/aji-moruga","provider":"NCpepperseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
