Aji Cristal Peppers are native to Chile and are widely used in many Mexican cuisines. Known for its spicy citrus flavor, the Aji Cristal is a must-have versatile option that you’ll want to grow in your garden.

These pepper plants reach 4 ft. tall and are incredibly prolific! Expect to have LOTS of fruits grow on these plants, with the possible need to stake them for extra support. Aji Cristal peppers ripen from light green to a reddish-orange color. These peppers can be harvested at any stage; the longer they ripen, the more heat they’ll have.

Use green Aji Cristal peppers for an added medium hot pepper taste in fresh foods, soups, or pickling. Orange peppers can spice up your dishes and add a bit of spicy zest to salsas, sauces, and even pepper flakes and chili powders!
