So Nigel posted a hot tip over a month ago about buying some different varieties from Peru.
See the thread here: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/44708-seeds-direct-from-lima-peru/
 
Thanks @Nigel for the great tip.
 
I decided to order these and received them yesterday. So ofcourse I want to share them with someone.
Or 3 people actually. Only for people who didn't receive seeds from my previous giveaway. Sorry!
 
Write a post below with which top 5 varieties you would wish to receive and I will contact you if you are chosen to get them. I will pick next Sunday!
 
  • Aji Rocoto: Clasic chili pepper from Peru, used in most of peruvian cuisine, black seeds.
  • Aji Amarillo: orange color, also known as "escabeche" or "mirasol" (when it is sun dried)
  • Aji Panca: dark red, generally used on dried form as condiment 
  • Aji Paprika: generally used as a coloring agent in foods and cosmetics but it has a good flavor
  • Aji Charapita: very tiny but also very hot. It is from peruvian amazonian jungle
  • Aji Limo: very hot, used in traditional peruvian food "ceviche"
  • Aji Cacho de Cabra:  (goat's horn, because when it is larger then it can take that appearance) 
  • Aji Arnaucho 1: yellow or red. It has a particular shape.
  • Aji Arnaucho 2: slightly smaller size than the previous and with many colors, 
  • Aji Cerezo 1: tiny but hot. This is from peruvian amazonian jungle. It has a thin skin.
  • Aji Cerezo 2: from north of Peru, very hot, size is aprox 1 inch, it has a thick skin
  • Aji Verde:  from peruvian amazonian jungle, small size (between 1 and 2 inches), very hot, It has a thin skin.
  • Aji Pipi de Mono: from north of Peru, very hot, it has a thick skin
  • Aji Dulce:  from peruvian amazonian jungle, medium size, It is not hot and has a particular flavor
  • Aji Pacay: similar to Aji Amarillo but with larger size (near 10 inches)
  • Aji Mochero: this is an ancient chili pepper from north of Peru, lemon yellow color, plants are low in height.
 
 
I hope Nigel doesn't mind I took this picture as a reference.

Many thanks, Sir!  :)
 
Limo, De Cabra, and Pacay look fun.
 
Already have a Dulce plant. 
 
Three is fine. If you wand to round up to 5, anything else you may have will be more than welcome.
 
Great offer! I would love to try a few if I'm picked!
 
Actually I've specifically had my eye out for the Amarillo's and Charapita's for quite some time, and if I'd pick 3 more from that sweet selection I'd go for the Limo, Cerezo 2, and Pacay.
 
Good luck everyone and thank you to bondgirl69 for the generous offer! :clap:
