Description
The Ají Limo is a prized Peruvian baccatum chili valued for its intense citrusy flavor. Its long, tapered yellow pods carry moderate heat alongside a vivid lemon aroma. Widely used on the northern coast of Peru in ceviche and fish dishes, it is one of the most distinctive and aromatic ajís of the Andes.
