Lemon Drop Hot Pepper- Hudson Valley Seed Co
Regular price
$5.00
Small, crinkled yellow hot peppers with citrusy heat. Hailing from South America, this hot pepper is a stunner. Its habit is incredibly vigorous, forming big, tall, strongly upright plants that are naturally lush. Each plant tends to bear heavily, its branches laden with dozens of small, waxy-skinned fruit that turn from light green in mid-season to golden yellow at ripeness. The flavor of each is exceptional: truly citrusy, even when green, with a level of heat that is in the range of cayenne - suitable for spicing a dish without overwhelming it. Also known as Aji Lima, this member of the Capsicum baccatum species takes a few weeks longer to mature than your average garden pepper, but the results of your patience will be well worth the wait. Large, vigorous plants yield copious amounts of wrinkled fruits. (One plant is plenty for a home garden!) Several weeks after setting fruit the little green fruits start to turn yellow. It might be the color, but we swear this hot little pepper is citrusy too. If you like a bit of heat, one pepper is enough for a pot of chili, use more if you are a fiend. This pepper also makes a great hot sauce.

WE'RE ON A MISSION...
Real Beekeepers. Real Honey. Taste The Difference.
My beekeeping journey began over 12 years ago with my oldest daughter begging for a dog, which led us to getting baby chickens instead, then honey bees were added to our urban backyard farm and the rest is history. We're urban NYC beekeepers with a mission to help save the bees and other pollinators by donating to organizations that help save the bees and establish local pollinator gardens. Bees have been declining at an alarming rate which can impact the global food supply as bees are essential in pollination. Our honey is pure and raw and sourced from either our own local hives or small apiaries, like us, from around the country. We believe in sustainable beekeeping, supporting small local beekeepers who in turn work with small local family farms to help pollinate their crops and bring you real, delicious honey.
