Description
The Ají Omincolor is a striking ornamental Capsicum baccatum from Peru and Bolivia, named for its spectacular multicolor display. Conical pods ripen through yellow, orange, red, and purple simultaneously on the same plant, creating a vivid visual effect. Despite its decorative reputation, it has a pleasant fruity flavor with moderate heat and can be used fresh or in salsas.
