Description

Discover the Ají Limón, also known as Lemon Drop. This is a unique South American chili pepper that is particularly popular in Peru and Bolivia. In Peruvian cuisine, this pepper is a real flavor enhancer thanks to its fresh, citrusy aroma and fruity taste. The name Lemon Drop is mainly used in England and the United States, but it refers to the same pepper.

The Ají Limón stands out for its bright yellow color, intense citrus notes, and pleasant, fruity aroma. With a medium heat level of approximately 15,000 to 30,000 Scoville units, this pepper offers the perfect balance between flavor and heat. Its fresh, lemony notes give dishes a unique, refined flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.

This versatile chili pepper is ideal for preparing ceviche, salsa verde, marinades, sauces, dressings, and fish dishes. Its fresh, fruity flavor also comes into its own in chicken, rice, and vegetable dishes. Thanks to its distinct citrus aroma, the Ají Limón is also perfect for adding extra character to fresh salsas and spicy oils.
