Aji Monika - (Capsicum baccatum)

The Aji Monika is a baccatum type with medium heat and a fruity flavor, these gorgeous peppers ripen to a pale yellow with subtle gold stripes. The stripes are more vivid in person than in photos, making this a truly beautiful and rare pepper. The filial generation is uncertain, so it may still be unstable.  Peppers are 3-4 inches long and only a half inch wide.  The plants get 3-4 feet tall and very bushy with massive amounts of peppers, so it helps to cage or stake up to stabilize from all the weight of the fruits.

Heat level: Estimated 25,000 to 30,000 SHU – Mild/Medium.

Flavor: Sweet & Fruity.
