Aji Tangerine

Aji Tangerine is a baccatum favorite that loads vigorous plants with glossy, tangerine‑colored pods and a sweet‑citrus aroma. Fruits are slim and crisp‑walled, perfect for quick roasts, ceviche garnishes, and bright pickles. Heat runs medium for a baccatum—enough spark to lift a dish without masking delicate flavors. Plants produce reliably with sun and steady moisture, and they excel in large containers. Let pods finish fully for maximum sweetness and tropical fragrance. Dehydrated slices keep their vivid color and make lively, fruity flakes. An easy keeper for growers who want big yields and crowd‑pleasing flavor. Once you taste it fresh off the plant, it’s hard not to grab another handful.
