Aji Verde is another Aji variety found in the northern coastal valleys of Peru, mainly in Lambayeque and Piura. The name translates to 'green chile', however, the mature pods ripen into red and orange colours. The very hot pods of the Aji Verde are small, elongated and pointed, with medium flesh, measuring 2 to 3 inches long and 1/2 inch across. This variety is not commercially grown.
