Pepper Hot Aji Cacho de Cabra 10 seeds TessGruun

Ajì cacho de cabra of cacho de venado is typical of the coasts of Peru and Chile. The name comes from its peculiar shape, which resembles goat or deer horns. In Peru, it is found almost exclusively in the Departamento of Lambayequem, on the northern Peruvian coast. Here, the cultivation of ajì cacho de cabra is concentrated in the fertile valleys in the provinces of Chiclayo and Lambayeque. One of the most important pre-Spanish civilizations of Peru developed here: the Moche. Many archaeological excavations unearthed ceramic vases depicting the food eaten by the Moche, including ajì (probably of the Annum or Baccatum species). The plant favors hot climates, little rain, clay or sandy soils. It is sown in winter, while fruits are harvested at the beginning of summer.
The fruit has a slim and pointed shape; the color ranges from green to deep red. Its taste is rather hot and aromatic.
The product can only be found at local markets and more and more often people prefer more commercially known varieties.
