🌶️ Aji Panca Peruvian Black Chili Seeds (Capsicum baccatum)

💰 Price: Package of 10 Seeds


Ají Panca, also known as Ají Especial, Ají Colorado, or Chile Peruano, is a cultivar of Capsicum baccatum and one of the most widely used chili peppers in Peruvian cuisine. This medium-heat chili is grown primarily along the coast of Peru and is famed for its fruity, slightly smoky flavor. The peppers are medium-sized, measuring 8 to 13 centimeters long and 2.5 to 3 centimeters wide. When ripe, they turn a dark brown or reddish color, giving them their characteristic look and flavor profile.

Ají Panca is favored in the preparation of a variety of dishes, especially in traditional Peruvian recipes. The peppers have thick, meaty flesh and a sweet, fruity taste that makes them an ideal ingredient for adding both color and flavor to a wide range of dishes. One of the unique qualities of Ají Panca is that it can be used in several forms: fresh, dried, ground into powder, or made into a paste. Sun-dried peppers are especially popular and are sold as Ají Seco on farms in Peru.

While Ají Panca has a mild heat level, the spiciness can be reduced by removing the veins and seeds, leaving behind the rich flavor that adds depth to sauces, soups, salads, and meats. The pepper’s color and flavor enhance the visual appeal and taste of both vegetarian and meat-based dishes, making it a versatile ingredient in many culinary traditions. This chili pepper is particularly popular in stews, marinades, and barbecues, where it imparts a sweet and smoky profile to meats like beef, chicken, and pork.

🌱 How to Sow Aji Panca Peruvian Black Chili Seeds (Capsicum baccatum):

  1. Prepare your soil by mixing organic compost into well-drained, loamy soil. Ají Panca grows best in full sunlight, so select a sunny spot for planting. 🌞

  2. Plant the seeds about 1-2 cm deep into the soil. Space the seeds 5-10 cm apart to allow room for the plants to grow. 🌱

  3. Water regularly, but be sure not to overwater. The soil should stay slightly moist but never waterlogged. 🌧️

  4. Maintain temperatures of 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F) for optimal growth. Make sure that nighttime temperatures do not fall below 15°C (59°F). 🌡️

  5. Fertilize periodically using organic fertilizer to promote strong growth. This plant thrives in fertile, nutrient-rich soil. 🌿

  6. Prune the plants if needed, and remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy and encourage fruit production. ✂️
