Description
The Ají Pineapple is a productive Capsicum baccatum variety named for its distinct tropical flavor. Its small, conical yellow pods reach 5–7 cm and ripen from pale green to golden yellow. With moderate heat and floral, fruity notes recalling pineapple and citrus, it is popular for fresh salsas, tropical hot sauces, and as a garden ornamental.
