Lovers of heritage and heirloom varieties can't afford to overlook the original Aji Charapita chilli. It's one of the truly traditional South-American peppers, and the very small, rounded fruits look deceptively innocent while packing a seriously hot punch. Since this pepper is not heavily hybridised, it will take some extra love and care, and should be grown in hot conditions. Traditionally, this pepper was crushed and added to soups and stews shortly before they were ready to serve.

Growing Information
How to Sow
Growing peppers is easy, so direct sowing is usually fine, but for good control over your germination conditions, sowing in trays is usually a better bet. A light covering soil is all these seeds need. Then water well and only repeat when you see the soil surface starting to dry out.
How to Harvest
As soon as your peppers look big enough to eat, you can start to harvest them. If you want red peppers, leave them on the vine until they colour up. Cut them off with a sharp pair of scissors, secateurs or a knife to avoid damage to the fruit or the plant.
