Description
The Ají Rico is a modern hybrid pepper developed for mild fruity flavor and high productivity. Its long, tapered pods ripen from deep green to vivid red, reaching 12–15 cm. With mild heat and a sweet, fruity taste reminiscent of traditional South American ajís, it is popular for fresh eating, salads, and mild hot sauces.
