The Aji Melocotón chili pepper originates from South America, whose Spanish name means "peach," referring to the surprising pale orange color its fruits take on when ripe. It develops elongated, thin-walled fruits with a balanced, fruity flavor, while its spiciness remains reasonable. It is a productive plant, although susceptible to disease if not in full sun. It is well suited to growing in pots or in the garden, and the fruits add a lovely citrus touch to salads, sauces, and powders.
