- In this episode, we check out the Aji Lemon Drop. This is a beautiful looking chilli, but what about the flavour and spice? Big thanks to my brother-in-law Andre for helping out! The poor guy doesn't really like spicy things, although I think I am converting him over to the spicy side! Looking for some quality chilli seeds for your next chilli pepper growing season? ⬇️

"Not going on my top 10"
Wait, what? You have a top 10? Where's that at? :) Stay Spicy ChilliChump.
Have you seen Rob's favorite pepper video on 7 Pot Club? You'll thank me later.
@@effoanderson1312 I grow hot peppersss
For those who speak English he means 'where is that?'
I grew these last year and they are amazingly tasty. Raw, cooked, pickled, and in sauces. I'm growing them again this year.
I am trying to grow them now, and having a lot of trouble compared to my jalapenos. Any tips?
I like the lemon drop, I’ve grown it a couple of times now, I’ve currently got some fermenting, and this year I’m growing a couple of hybrids. I’ve crossed it with Carolina Reaper, and with Tabasco (I’ve also got some cayenne long x Hungarian black I’m testing). Fingers crossed I get some interesting hybrid peppers there!
Yours also have white /darker seeds? Was curious if it was normal or a deficiency of some sort ...
@@christiansmith1639 same
Why am I disappointed that he doesn't like them, as if taste isn't subjective... I love lemon drops, but honestly I prefer them when they are green in salsas and stir frys, I call them Lime Drops.
i havent thought of trying them still green, ive been patiently waiting for them to yellow, and would love to try one lol.
I will have to try them green when mine grow and see the difference.
One of my favourite! Easy to grow, sooo fresh taste. Mango+fermented LD=perfect light sauce!
Thrashing Mad same! Im making them again this year. Taste sweet and not too hot.
Try the peruvian "aji amarillo" its the best in the world (look it up its the number one chili in Peru, which has been awarded the world leading culinary destination for 8 consecutive years ,WTA 2011-2019)
I first tried this from a farmer's market and loved it. The variety of different pepper flavors is amazing...the diversity of all living things is amazing...people who hobby is tasty fruit that burn the heck outta their mouth are also amazing. I did not grow this one this year but I will next year. I imagine that flavor best belongs in a mango salsa or mixed with habanero and in a sauce. I look forward to seeing what you have growing soon. Take care!
I have been growing my lemon drop for 2 years now and started drying it to make a powder. We use it on many of our dishes.
I've grown these two years. Lovely ornamental pepper
They are a very pretty plant Shaun filled with bright pods that come to life quickly towards the end of the growing season here. Thank you for the review. -Bob...
I've grown a ton of these over the past few years and come to the conclusion they're best utilized as a powder. The intense florida summer heat seems to really make them rather inedible. Very "soapy" kinda taste. Mellows out in the cooler months. But when dried with other peppers, they really shine. Thanks for the review!
Interesting, What are your other peppers, and Mixing ratios if you don't mind ty
@@elliottgilman3868 usually my red habs and ghosts. One of the reasons I grow the lemon drops and habs is they can really stand up to our summer conditions. I've made some sauces with LDs but again (powder from the mash is very good also), for whatever reason I really like the powder. Add it to your favorite dry rub or make your own. I think powders are one of the most versatile ways to use hot peppers. Oh yeah, no real ratio. Just use what is on hand.
Agreed, I have powdered most of mine. And they are so much better dried. I have a video coming up on that in the next few weeks.
@@ChilliChump oh yeah, per your enthusiastic recommendation, I have a few peri peri plants this year.
Not a single one of my lemon drop seeds germinated this year. I’m so sad but I’ll try again next year. Sigh.... yours look amazing! Your brother is awesome! Stay spicy boys!
I grew these and I loved them, they are definitely more than 10k scovile more like 20-30 and the heat comes quick and stings. The flavour is super fruity and super fresh it's so good with heavy foods because it cuts through everything
Yeay! Brother in law! I follow his guidance (love the chilli 'taste offs') Not a great reaction from my man. So 'won't grow'. Dried and used as a condiment/spice, I can appreciate that idea.
Definitely try as a powder. It works👍
Was referred to you from a friend, so glad I found this channel. I love hot peppers.
Welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoy my videos!
I like growing these, but I love them dice in rings, I use it in my chilled grilled chicken salad topped with a little Blue Cheese, and some Balsamic Vinegar and oil mix.... But amazing in any salads really
sooooo close to the 100k mark. keep up the great content. you deserve it and more.
Thanks John! Yeah, hopefully not long now to 100k!!
I’m growing both aji lemon drop and a primo x aji lemon drop cross this season.
Hope you and your family stay safe and healthy and have a great growing season!
Thanks Shaun. I hope you and yours stay safe too!
I love this pepper. I enjoy it with fish dishes. It adds the citrus flavor that is nice with fish, and adds the heat I enjoy. I don't have seeds this year, and I'm kinda bummed about it.
Thanks for the info, love the channel. I chose these (among others) for my first year growing chillies so will look forward to seeing the results.
How did that go? I am choosing them first time this year.
@@vice.m sorry for the late reply. TBH it didnt go well. although they got going at the start i had virtually no fruit from any of the 3 plants. I think maybe it was becaus the area of my greenhouse they were in was a little too shaded by a neighbours tree, or maybe because the greenhouse got too hot, or another few reasons, but i will give it another go this year, last year was a bit of a learning year.
my all time favorite! i'm growing it every year
Love your channel! Ive just started growing my own after watching your videos/tutorials so thanks!
Thanks for watching my videos Jon! And good luck with your growing. You are going to have a great time with it!
Great coincidence, I’m chopping two at the moment to go with some tuna steaks.
Thanks for the review. I'll be sure to gone look at growing some of them. when i have room. Keep the good work coming👍
I love this pepper - but I must admit it's best dried. The thin walls make this super easy. Dry, and grind this up with sea salt, rosemary, garlic powder - AMAZING on fish and chicken. Highly recommend that you (or anyone) tries this!
Thats what I did with the majority of my harvest last year...dried into powder. Got a video on that soon. And I agree, that is the bet way to have them in my opinion.
Nice honest review - thanks!
Oh my Shawn. Cheers mate.
I appreciate the honest review 👍
I've ordered this one to sow in the new season. South Africa Tonja
Baccatums have one huge advantage imho: you can grow them outside a greenhouse here in Germany. No way of doing that with a habanero!
So, a good but not great taste and the robustness makes them my favourite.
I had the smaller version: the Aji Mochero. Very lemony, it’s a chinense, so it packs a lot of heat as well...
Growing these now and compared to all my other pepper plants ther are the only ones that are still 100% all the way green. So im worried I might wind up with a lot of peppers with that greenish yellowish middle of the road ripeness about the same color as a peppercinni. Do you know how they taste around that phase? Not a fan of green peppers i hope they will still be sweet if they're only 75% ripe before the first frost.
They really need to be fully ripe to get the full sweetness and flavour.
Cannot wait for mine to start producing.
I think the name of the pepper polarizes peoples expectations. I thought they were floral/soapy tasting. Thank you for having the guts to disagree with the majority.
Agreed. Perhaps it's a gene thing like corriander haha. Loads of people rave about them and I just think urhh, grim. Tastes like when you accidently get deodorant in your mouth.
@@simonhughes9418 I fall into this category. I grow a lot of them cause they don't mind my florida crazy weather. Raw they are brutal, but dried into a powder, they are great.
@@FC-cz6zd great in a fresh sauce with lemon juices added
Try it in cheese on toast (strong mature cheddar). Really love it 🙂
Since you can cross-polinate baccatum chillies with either chinense chillies or anuum chillies you could maybe perhaps make a beter tasting chillie by crossing one of the two varieties i mentiond above with the aji lemon drop.!?.
One of my Patrons mentioned an interesting pepper to me. I believe it is a Habanero crossed with Lemon drop. Really keen to give that one a try.
I have
Carolina Reapers
Red Ghost Peppers
Sugar Rush Peach
Ring of Fire
Cayenne
Jalapenos
Several varieties of Green Chiles
From New Mexico.
I dried a batch of these . I took a nibble of the dried product and it was painful .
Man I love these peppers.
I just ordered my first chili pepper seedsyesterday. I'm going straight for the kill and have Chocolate Bhutlah pepper plantsas my first grow :-) If they turn out well, I'm going to try to eat 2 of them at the same time on video to celebrate :-D
my first grow in 2009 was Bhut Jolokia.. I still have some of the flakes (and use them), because i require so little for cooking, and they still have an insane amount of heat. The hot sauce is long gone though..
Be careful... I ate one and the heat subsided eventually, but for hours afterwards it felt like I'd been punched in the stomach
I have not tried baccatum yet but this year I will be growing Aji Pineapple. I will have my opinion on baccatum then :)
Thank you for this video. Now I really looking forward to trying them!
Cheerfull UA-camr: lets try a lemondrop!
Lemongrab: UNACCEPTABLE!
You’re really brave to taste the chilli raw. I wonder if you have ever tried bengal naga? If you’re going to be careful 😊
Im growing these for the first time this year! Have you ever grew aji charipita shawn?
i hope you dry some up . and made it into a powder .. its very nice on pizza
Like your videos! Greetings from Brazil!
nice review ty
Your the man! Love your videos.
yelow trinidad scorpion have nice color too
Could you eat the leaves as well?
Can you make a video on the different species profile?
Thats a good idea. I will do that when my peppers start ripening this season
I do like them quite a bit, not a favourite either. I do really enjoy the chinense varieties best usually. Pain to grow in Germany though.
Try a naga morich. They smell amazing and it's really spicy. I'd love to see a review on that 👌
Make some of the Peruvian foods that evolved from the various ahi. Causa is a prime yellow pepper example.
Had such a hard time cutting the first one down the middle I gave up and started on looking for something else 😸 to watch.
I bought chilis that looked like these today i wqs going to chop them and have them in chicken partyt so I tasted a small piece before and shit that thing was hot! After i read on the package and it said 200000 scoville. What sort of pepper could this be?
Chicken patty *
Still havent named that lemon/peri peri pepper hybrid you spliced last year..
Still haven't got the seeds to germinate...so good thing I didn't name it yet. I was going to name it once I saw what the peppers looked like and tasted like. But at the moment I don't have any coming up unfortunately
ChilliChump oh I thought they already grew!!
Keep trying!!
was it a good producer pepper?
Its weird time with the illnes you can't name on UA-cam. Hope you and your loved ones are safe and well and thanks for great videos. It malé us look forward somethink in these hard times. I meant your videos and our garden and chilli plants.
Thank you Petr. It is certainly strange times! I am not going to be addressing it on my videos (like many UA-camrs seem to be doing)...I don't see the point. I will just keep making my videos, and give people a few minutes to escape into the wonderful world of chillies and the garden! I hope you and your family are keeping safe.
Have you tried the Limon? Packs a looooot more punch compared to aji lemon/lemon drop
Have you ever made a Barbados style scotch bonnet sauce? It’s my personal favorite
I grew one of these last year and it has over wintered successfully. Jamie Oliver's recipe for Pickled Chillies works well with these - the pickling liquor picks up the lemon flavour well. Also works with a Peach Based hot sauce - cheapcooking.com/jamie-olivers-pickled-chili-peppers/
Great videos and recipes.
I have a question about the sterilizing solution you used in one of your videos, to sterilize the jars, my question is what is the name of it and where could I get it? Thanks in advance
I think you are talking about the sanitising solution I use? I sterilise first, then using the spray sanitiser before bottling and when handling containers. It is StarSan. geni.us/starsan
@@ChilliChump that one. Thanks a lot!
Are they also Aji Lemon???? Or different pepper?
Yes it's the same pepper
I got one growing right now
Do you have peruvian Rocoto seeds for sale.?
Yes we have two types in stock currently chillichumpseeds.com/?s=Rocoto&post_type=product
Chilli Chump! One of my Lemon Drop seedlings germinated with three coteyledons. I messaged South Devon Chilli Farm where the seeds come from and they told me they'd never seen this mutation before. Have you?
I'm surprised they said that! It is a fairly common occurrence. I see it probably once in every 50 seeds. Still very cool, and love getting them. I think I have 3 like that currently!
@@ChilliChump thanks, I kinda thought that too. Good luck with this year's grow.
does it have a flavor like that of a lemon, or is the reference to lemon solely based on its color?
I have had habanero's that taste like peaches, and they are fantastic!
It is certainly just the colour, not the taste which gives it its name.
If you've ever used Lemon Pledge and breathed in enough to get a taste, that's what these peppers taste like to me. I use them pickled or dried which gets rid of that "cleaner" taste.
No flavou or bouquet just fierce heat when dried . They dry whole , just remove the stems . Their shu rating does not make sense to me , it seems way too low .
I'd like to throw those in a salad with some peppered ham.
Have you grown Aji Charapita? If so, what would you say is the difference?
I don't think I have yet
Bird's eye fresh is the most heat I feel fine to eat. Why does that not look like a 15000shu
Could the darker seeds be due to insect pests biting the pepper?
No I don't think so, you would see damage elsewhere too. I think it is just that the seeds didn't develop properly.
I’ve had it a few times. No idea what it is though
What is a backtom
Baccatum. The family that this pepper belongs to: Capsicum Baccatum
"Not great, not terrible"
probably a good thing it wasn't so hot!!! DUDE you rubbed your nose!!!!! YOU should nose better then that...thanks for the honest and informative review......
Got a lot of blackend seed this season. No idea why..
Its a strange one. I had this with a couple of my plants last year. It happens when the seeds just don't develop properly. Doesn't affect the pepper....but the seeds won't be able to germinate unfortunately.
Did you say 80 varieties!
Yep! Have a look at my Garden Update series, you can see the varieties I am growing this year! ua-cam.com/play/PLuQ_ySnkV1emzuK1Xt4fuKXyK0Q4F4AmD.html
will you do a Datil when you can?
I am growing them this year, so I will definitely be doing that!
If you still have a bottle of that weapons grade hot sauce? Could you send me a bottle?😃
shame the taste didnt match its looks mate
I’ve tried this. It taste like chemical not pepper
I loved my Bishop's hat peppers (also baccatum), but I have never liked the flavor of chinense peppers. That "fruity" funk they have is off-putting.
First... 22 seconds ago this was uploaded, going to enjoy watching.
tastes like dish soap, gives you a sharp head spinning rush that is "unique". One of my least favorite batatums. There are other ones that taste much better.
Same experience here as well. Grow a lot of them tho for powder and sauce. Raw...ugh!
I hiccup too
What's a Bactim?
Baccatum is the family that this chilli is from (Capsicum Baccatum). There are many different families. Some of the common ones: Capsicum Frutescens (birds eye, thai peppers), Capsicum Annum (Jalapeno), Capsicum Chinense (most superhots, habanero, carolina reaper etc.).
Hey, sorry if I sound stupid. What's your name.
My name is Shaun
What is bactuim
The family that this pepper belongs to, capsicum baccatum.
@@ChilliChump can you do a video about the different types of chillies groups
@@nathanrush431 already on the list for future videos! It is easy to take for granted that people know these things
@@ChilliChump when will that be happening
Later on the season... Would make sense to do it when I have examples of the different peppers. Still a while to go before I get ripe chillies
Absolutely prolific and look really nice but.... I'm just not keen. They don't taste that good. Too perfumy for me and pretty one dimensional. Had 3 plants last year and ended up with hundreds and hundreds of them. Gave most away.
The black/brown seeds is bad, bitter taste.
I won't ask any more questions because they just get ignored. Thanks. Unsubscribed.
Are you kidding? I have answered the majority of your questions.
Edit: In fact, I have answered almost EVERY question you have ever asked....I just searched through my comments. And the fact that I get about 1000 comments a day, and answer the majority of them...seeing a comment like this from you actually annoys me after spending the amount of time I do on this.
