From the jungles of norther Peru, the Aji Charapita is known as a wild pepper. Used fresh, this tiny yellow pepper is said to have a strong fruity flavor that gives salsas and sauces a special taste, but it is mostly used in dried form to add spiciness to your favorite dishes.

The Aji Charapita is a highly sought-after treat among chili pepper connoisseurs and chefs worlwide.

The Aji Charapa pods average between 5-8 mm in diameter once they mature, and have a very thin skin, they can be a red or yellow color, although yellow is more common. The pepper is very juicy with a cluster of seeds in the middle.
