Aji Rico Hybrid Hot Pepper is one of the first hot peppers to mature. So, no need to wait. You can enjoy eating hot peppers fresh or adding them to salsa earlier in the season than you had hoped. This early pepper is also great if you live in a region with a short growing season. Aji Rico is a 2017 All-America Selections winner. This high-yield plant produces 3 in. to 4 in. fruits that are crisp, thin-walled and have a refreshing citrus flavor with a warm heat.
