Was gifted these and told to save the seeds to grow again because they’re rare. Any idea what I’ve got?

They’re called Aji Lemon Drops. They’re not rare – but they are really easy to grow and produce HUGE yields. They grow tall rather than wide so make sure you stake it early and pop a tomato fence around it.

Aji limon, aka lemon drops. A citrusy and moderately hot pepper.
Lemon Drop. Great peppers to eat and make hot sauce with

Aji lemon drop most likely. Pleasant mild heat and extremely citrusy lemon flavor. Big tall plants with lots of peppers. Mine took forever to start producing and even longer to ripen but had a decent yield once they did. I dehydrated a lot. I made a sauce with them and some other yellow varieties I had but didn’t care for it, but they’re good in salsa and other dishes. I saved a few seeds to grow again, but none of mine had very many seeds to save.

I gotta get seeds for these. Got a yellow pepper sauce I want to make. If anyone sees this please suggest some tasty white and yellow peppers.

Aji Limon, these are great! Sweet with mild-ish heat. I had a plant this year that spread along the ground like strawberries and was so damn productive I was picking like 6 a day at the hight of summer. Pairs well with fruit and citris.
I’ve grown chilies that were sold as Hot Lemon and they look the same. What’s the difference between them and lemon drop/ajin?

Aji lemon drops definitely. One plant will produce more than you know what to do with (assuming you are growing it for home personal use). From one plant this year I have many bottles of hot sauce, some more currently fermenting and they also are great dried as an addition to salt with some herbs to make a spicy salt

Most people aren’t very familiar with peppers so anything a lay person hasn’t seen could be seen as rare.

Lemon drops also taste really good pickled with some green cherry tomatoes.

Aji Pineapple or Aji Lemon. Both are very very similar, with only a slight different in size (on average) and one being more citrus, the other with notes of pineapple. Neither dry well, but both make a most excellent fermented hot sauce. I would say it the is the most favorite sauce out of all I have made.

Yeah that’s an Aji. One of my favourites! Lucky you 🙂
