The Aji Mango Hot Pepper is a bold and flavorful chili variety known for its vibrant yellow color and its sweet, fruity flavor that resembles mango with subtle citrus undertones. This pepper packs a serious punch, making it a must-have for those who crave both heat and complex flavor in their hot peppers.
With a heat level of 100,000 to 150,000 SHU, the Aji Mango provides a fiery kick that satisfies those who enjoy intense heat. Its tropical, slightly tangy flavor enhances salsas, hot sauces, and marinades, and it’s perfect for anyone looking to add a spicy, fruity twist to their dishes.
The peppers grow to about 2 to 3 inches in length and ripen from green to a striking yellow. Their unique shape and color make them an eye-catching addition to any garden. The plant itself is compact, reaching 2 to 3 feet tall, making it suitable for container gardening and smaller spaces.
Aji Mango plants are highly productive, often yielding a large number of peppers throughout the growing season. The time from flowering to fruit ripening is about 90 to 100 days, and the plants thrive in sunny, warm conditions.
