The Aji brown also known as Aji panca is the second most common Aji variety in Peru and is grown mainly near the coast. It is sometimes mistaked for a Baccatum but is actually part of the Chinense species. The plant is white flowering and can grow up to 90cm (3ft) in a single season. The pods are large measuring 10-15cm (4-6in) long and 2.5-4cm (1-1½in) across, have medium thick flesh with a berry flavour and smokey overtones. They mature from green to a deep rich brown in approximately 85 days. Its aromatic taste makes it superb raw in salsas or salads. 1,000-1,500 Scoville units.
