The heat is middling and the flavor amazingly rich and citrusy. It can be used fresh in salsas, fermented or cooked for hot sauces, or dried and ground for a very flavorful seasoning. An early Aji type, Criolla Sella is particularly well adapted to cooler growing conditions from germination to fruit set. Plants stand about 3’ with small leaves and heavy branching and do not require support. \u003cbr\u003e90 days.
