UNIQUE CREEK HOMESTEAD SEEDS: All of our seeds are grown right here on our Unique Creek Homestead and not sourced from elsewhere. All seeds are collected each growing season and are 1-year old or less, stored in air-tight Mason jars. Seeds are harvested and labeled for storage each season, one plant/seed type at a time so seeds do not get mixed by accident during the process! The seeds we use at the start of each growing season come from the exact same seeds we sell!
ABOUT THESE SEEDS: The Ají Charapita, or Wild Peruvian Chili Pepper, is a small, round pepper that matures from green to yellow. It's known for its intense heat, comparable to a Cayenne pepper, and a distinct fruity flavor. These peppers are considered very valuable and are often used fresh or dried in Peruvian cuisine.
The variety has moderate heat, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 SHU on the Scoville scale, and is revered for its fruity flavor. Ají Charapita is thought to have origins in Amazonian Peru and is not commonly found outside of its growing region, leading the variety to be one of the rarer premium peppers in markets.
Sow seeds in flats or pots 8 to 10 weeks prior to the expected outdoor planting date. Sow them shallowly, around 1/4 inch deep. Hot peppers, and especially super-hot peppers, have a well-earned reputation for being finicky to germinate, but you can increase germination rates by providing bottom heat (highly suggested).
Sincerely,
