Aji Umbra: The Vibrant Citrus Touch of Aji Peppers
The Aji Umbra pepper is a fascinating, highly productive variety of C. baccatum, originating from Suriname and recognised for its elongated shape and sunny colour. It is valued for its exceptionally abundant harvests and its light, fresh, aromatic flavour profile, described as having an approachable level of heat.
Mild to Moderate Heat and a Fresh, Citrusy Aroma
Heat Level (Moderate): Its heat is lively but restrained, at around 200,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), similar to a classic Aji. It delivers an immediate, crisp kick without overwhelming the palate.
Aromatic and Fresh Flavour: The flavour stands out for its distinctly citrusy, fruity and floral notes, with a slightly spicy, sweet touch. This pepper adds freshness and natural vibrancy to any dish.
Exceptional Productivity and Culinary Versatility
Shape and Colour: The fruits are elongated, slightly conical, with firm skin, ripening from pale green to a bright sunflower yellow. The plant is extremely vigorous and branching, producing hundreds of peppers throughout the growing season.
Uses: Its refreshing flavour makes it perfect for fresh salsas, ceviche, salads, chopped relishes and pickles in marinades. It can be eaten fresh and sliced to add colour and mild heat to everyday dishes, or dried to make a vibrant, fragrant yellow powder. Yellow Aji Umbra is an excellent choice for anyone seeking citrus flavour, versatility and moderate heat.
Aji Umbra brings the energy of the Aji family to your kitchen, combining a stunning colour palette with a wonderfully citrusy flavour and a mild-to-moderate heat profile.
