Aji Limo Chili Peppers

by Mike Hultquist · Sep 23, 2013 · 2 Comments

SCOVILLE HEAT UNITS: 30,000-50,000 SHU

The Limo chile (or Ají Limo) is another super-hot chili from Peru. (Ají is the term for chile pepper in South America.) It grows to about 2-3 inches, and may be red, yellow, orange, or even purple or white, providing great color for your dishes.

They are commonly used in ceviche, and other Peruvian cooking, and they’re also great for salsas, chili and other fish dishes. The Limo has a citrus-spice flavor when cooked.
