Aji Limon / Lemon Drop Opinions Discussion

Post image

After reading all the great reviews I decided to grow this variety. They look beautiful but the flavor profile is kind of basic…obviously, taste is subjective. I am curious to see what others think? Are these overhyped? Maybe my growing conditions are a factor in the muted flavor.

Try making Peruvian food with them . I don't know if you can get fresh Mandioca (Cassava) where you live , but boiled/fried Mandioca with Peruvian aji Amarillo sauce is super delicious.
