Description
A delectable Aji-type snacking pepper. The long, peach-colored fruits come early, and are packed with loads of super-sweet, apricot and citrus flavors, and a smoky complex heat. Excellent for pickling, raw in salads, salsa or homemade ketchup. Especially good when roasted over an open flame, which brings out the fruitiness. A very pleasurable eating experience, with a great balance of sweet and heat at about the level of habaneros. Photo courtesy of Baker Creek Heirloom Seed.

Why did you choose this?
How many days to dry seeds from extraction from fruit for germination purposes?
I have never tried this myself but I found online that doing this with hot pepper seeds can be tricky and it can take days to a few weeks.
