Pepper Hot Hot Lemon

Hot Lemon (also known as Lemon Drop or Ají Limón) is an extraordinary chili from South America – and for many chili fans the finest aroma chili of all. What makes Hot Lemon special? The aroma. While most chilies deliver only heat, Hot Lemon brings a striking citrus character reminiscent of lemongrass and fresh citrus fruit. Combined with 30,000–50,000 Scoville (SHU), the result is a flavour profile that hardly any other variety offers. The 6–10 cm, slightly wrinkled pods ripen from green to a luminous yellow and hang in abundance on the compact, productive plants – making this variety tailor-made for pot culture on balconies and patios. In the kitchen, Hot Lemon is remarkably versatile: the citrus aroma elevates salsas, ceviche, fish dishes, stews and even baked goods. Dried and ground, it yields a bright yellow chili powder with full aroma. Who is this variety for? Chili lovers looking for more than just heat, and balcony gardeners. Hot Lemon is a rare variety that we import directly in small batches – open-pollinated, so you can save your own seed.
