Ají Fantasy Stripey Pepper
🔥🔥
Scoville: 5,000 - 15,000
The Ají Fantasy Stripey is a stunning ornamental and culinary pepper variety celebrated for its whimsical shape and remarkable striped coloration. The lantern-shaped pods develop beautiful streaks of cream, peach, gold, and orange layered over a soft peach background, creating a vibrant, hand-painted appearance. As the peppers mature, the striping becomes more pronounced, making each pod a unique work of art that stands out brilliantly against the plant's green foliage.
Size
The fruits are typically small to medium-sized, averaging 2 to 3 inches in length, with a distinctive flattened, bell-like shape and gently flared lobes. Their glossy skin and intricate color patterns make them one of the most attractive varieties in any pepper collection.
Taste
The Aji Fantasy Stripey is prized for its exceptionally sweet and fruity flavor. It offers bright tropical notes reminiscent of citrus, mango, and apricot, balanced by a pleasant, medium heat that enhances rather than overwhelms the fruitiness. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and flavorful, making it excellent for fresh eating.
