Lemon Drop

Description

The Lemon Drop is a Peruvian ají closely related to the Ají Limon, producing small, tapered, vivid yellow pods with an intensely citrusy lemon-lime flavor and significant heat. Native to Peru, it is prized by chefs and hot sauce makers worldwide for its unique ability to add bright, citrus-forward heat to dishes and drinks without a purely vegetal chili taste. Exceptional in ceviches, cocktail rimming, fruit salsas, and artisan hot sauces where its lemon-yellow color and citrusy punch are defining features.
