Aji Limo/Lemon Drop Seeds - Spicy Hot with Citrus Flavor and Aroma

I figured that with them being on sale sowing them would be a bust however, So far 3 out of 10 .. previously ordered these same seeds from Pepper joes and none came up.. genuinely surprised and grateful these came thru. Thought i would have to wait another year to experience them

I bought this seeds because this is the kind of peppers used in Peru to prepare ceviche.
Received September 22. Seeded some weeks later. Full sun. I didn't watered, just the Central Florida rain. The plants are a tolerating the winter temperatures and heavy rain. I transplanted 1 for my beloved best friend (she's Peruvian ❤️❤️❤️) to a smaller pot and left it in same place and survived.
Take a look of the dates at the photos to appreciate how fast they have grown.

100 percent germination, grew as well or better than 'short season' annuums. No fuss, pods as good as advertised. A new favorite, will grow again.

Good germination, healthy plants and produces large amounts of bright yellow peppers mid to late season. We have dozens of customers who buy these for their flavor, not just another hot pepper for a sauce. We cut up a couple in our roasted vegetable marinade - yum. We've also dried them and freeze them with excellent results. Even if you like red peppers in a sauce, toss in a couple of these for a great visual and a punch of citrusy flavor.

I love this pepper. It’s very prolific. I love the hint of lemon it gives my food. I pickled them too! I like to add one or two to the water I cook my rice in.

I got these because I wanted to try something different. They took a little while to produce fruit, but once they started they produced like crazy. They are still producing! The peppers taste great fresh and dried. You can make a great lemony hot sauce with them as they have a nice heat. Great seeds too, 100% germination.

Good heat and a subtle citric taste. Growling in my Greenhouse still in November and still enjoying them. We live on Vancouver island Canada. This is my go to pepper, my favorite. Give it a try.

These pepper plants are prolific and if you can wait until the peppers turn a bright yellow, yum!
They are hot and have a little sweet, lemon after the burn. Delicious roasted with other vegetables, in soups and sliced on salads.

My husband and his family are from Lima Peru so they take the flavor of these types of peppers seriously. Happy to report despite some skepticism, Sandia's version passed the taste test in several dishes and sauces. Thanks for making me look good!

These were beautiful plants with lots of pretty yellow aji peppers – they were great in my famous homegrown salsa! Fruity with heat.

Thanks for the great seeds, they practically all germinated so I had to pluck out the extras and transplant to their own pot. I love Aji hot peppers as they have a very fruity almost berry-like flavor and the perfect amount of heat that makes you crave more. I love putting them in salsa or finely chopped over tacos!

These really are super tasty, they do have a citrus flavor and a nice strong heat. This lemon drop pepper makes the BEST pico-de-gallo!

Every one of these seeds sprouted, so we had several plants – and we were glad we did, as they were prolific, and quite beautiful in bright yellow. Very tasty, we love using them in salsas and I bet they'd make a killer hot sauce too! I will be growing these yellow Aji Limo peppers every year in our garden!
