Aji Crystal

The Aji Cristal is a traditional Chilean variety, renowned for its vibrant fruity flavor and slightly translucent appearance, hence its name “Cristal”. Very popular in South America, it is valued for both its versatility and its fresh, citrusy aroma, making it one of the best baccatum varieties for culinary use. The fruits are elongated and slightly curved, transitioning from pale green to yellow, then to a translucent orange-red when ripe. Their juicy and crisp flesh reveals a lively, fruity flavor, accompanied by a well-balanced medium heat. Known for its vigor, natural disease resistance, and consistent productivity throughout the season, the Aji Cristal is a reliable, high-performing variety, highly recommended for all these reasons.
