Hot Pepper Rain Forest (Aji Rainforest) (Capsicum baccatum)
Hot Pepper Rain Forest, also known as Aji Rainforest, is a rare and visually stunning chili variety, prized for its unique flavor, vibrant color, and versatility. This tropical pepper originates from South America, where it has been cherished for its culinary and ornamental value.
Plant Characteristics
The Rain Forest pepper plant is a robust grower, reaching a height of 80–100 cm. It has a bushy, compact structure that produces an abundance of elongated, slightly curved peppers. The fruits measure 8–12 cm in length and weigh 20–30 grams each. They mature from bright green to a radiant red, with a smooth and glossy skin. Known for its high productivity, this variety thrives in a wide range of climates.
Flavor and Nutritional Qualities
Rain Forest peppers have a fruity, tangy flavor with a moderate heat level of 10,000–30,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Their balanced heat and sweet notes make them versatile for culinary use. Rich in capsaicin, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, these chilies provide health benefits such as enhanced metabolism and improved immunity.
Cultivation Recommendations
Rain Forest thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining a soil temperature of 24–30°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors once the risk of frost has passed, spacing plants 50–60 cm apart. Regular watering, mulching, and occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer will promote vigorous growth and prolific fruiting. Fruits typically mature in 90–110 days after transplanting.
Applications and Uses
The fruity and tangy flavor of Rain Forest peppers makes them ideal for fresh salsas, hot sauces, and marinades. They are also excellent for grilling, pickling, and drying for chili flakes or powder. The vibrant red color and elegant shape make these peppers a decorative highlight in gourmet dishes and edible gardens.
Packaging and Delivery
Each packet contains 5 fresh, premium-quality seeds, carefully tested for germination and purity. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, with delivery typically taking 1–2 weeks, both within India and internationally. Seeds are securely packaged to ensure their freshness and quality during transit.
