About this pepper

Aji Rosita Red is a Capsicum chinense cultivar originating from Venezuela. Plants typically reach around one metre in height and are known for strong growth and high productivity.

The pods are thick-walled and roughly golf ball sized, maturing from green to a bright red colour. The flavour is distinctly sweet with apple-like notes, accompanied by characteristic Capsicum chinense undertones commonly associated with habanero-type peppers. Heat levels sit in the medium range and are generally approachable for most growers and cooks.

This variety is valued for its reliable yields, ease of cultivation, and suitability for fresh use across a range of culinary applications.
