These are the peppers that I just recently harvested. Wonderfully sweet, thin and crispy skin make them great for cooking and salads. It is used mostly for Latin cuisine. They can be used green or red/orange. I love them red...the color is quite nice in a dish. The winner will receive 10 seeds.


Ají dulce (Capsicum chinense) is a small, light green pepper that turns red if left long enough on the plant. In Puerto Rico, it is known as ají dulce or ajicito (sweet pepper and small pepper, respectively, in Spanish). In the Dominican Republic, it is also known as ají gustoso or ají cachucha (tasty pepper, and cap-shaped pepper, respectively, in Spanish). It has the size of a habanero pepper without the intense heat. Unlike many other countries in Latin America, hot peppers are not commonly used in the cuisine of Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, or Cuba. However, there can be some ají dulce fruit that is pungent, probably due to out-crossing.
This pepper is used to season dishes and is an important ingredient for sofrito, a sauce used in several Latin American cuisines. The majority of ají dulce found in Latino markets in the Northeast is imported from Latin America. In the tropics, this plant can grow as a perennial, although most of the commercial production is with annual systems.
