Description
The Aribibi Gusano, whose name means caterpillar in a Bolivian indigenous dialect, is a rare and powerful chili from the Amazonian lowlands of Bolivia. Its elongated, deeply wrinkled pods ripen from bright green to cream-white, resembling a caterpillar in shape and texture. Despite its fruity citrusy flavor, it packs extreme heat and is one of South America's most potent wild varieties.
