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!
