These Lemon Drop seeds produce the Lemon Drop plant and pepper. The Lemon Drop is a pepper you must have if you like both citrus and spicy. Despite being hard to find, the Lemon Drop pepper, also known as Aji Limon, is becoming increasingly popular for its decorative qualities and golden yellow ripe color. With its lemony flavor and medium heat (15,000 to 30,000 SHU), this chili goes well with hotter salsas and homemade hot sauces made with citrus fruits. Moreover, it is widely used as a pungent seasoning for meals and snacks in its country of origin, Peru.

Still, this chili has a surprising, medium heat punch that falls between the softer side of a cayenne pepper or tabasco pepper, and the hotter side of a serrano chili. A Lemon Drop is two to 12 times hotter than the commonly used reference pepper, the Jalapeno. For us, it is a chili that hits the sweet-spicy sweet spot, making it spicy enough for experimental guests and lovers of spicy food without overpowering the other flavors of a meal.

The spiciness comes on quickly; unlike some other hot peppers, it does not tend to build up and linger. Besides the heat, there is a really unexpected flavor that is citrusy.
