Resembling a Scotch Bonnet in shape but much milder in heat (500-1,000 Scoville units), this sweet-fleshed pepper is essential for many dishes, from sofrito to soups, and can be enjoyed raw. It is considered a sweet pepper because it has such a mild heat level. Native to Cuba and Puerto Rico, this dark red pepper is versatile and appreciated for its incredible flavor. Unlike the similar-looking Scotch Bonnet and habanero, Aji Cachucha is not as hot and is commonly used to season rice, beans, soups, stews, and even stuffed with meats and cheeses. Peppers are slow to germinate and slow to start growing to transplant size. I recommend to start seeds in pots/trays with a heat mat to speed up germination. Then start fertilizing weekly with half strength fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. Peppers are similar to tomatoes in that they like plenty of water and are heavy feeders. Peppers are perennial plants and can produce for several years if taken care of. In cold climates trim off all the leaves and bring in doors in a pot to over winter. Place back out doors once temperatures are nice and warm. In mild climates, pepper plants can be left out doors and might need to be covered on the coldest nights.
