The Aji Cristal chilli originates from Chile and is prized there for its exceptionally fruity aroma. The variety belongs to the chilli species Capsicum baccatum ("tree chilli") and this variety has brown pods that develop the uniquely delicious taste of tree chillies - sweet and sour and incredibly fruity. Added to this is a fiery, long-lasting heat. It goes well with fish, vegetables and grilled meat or to spice up dips and sauces. The advantage of chilli flakes is that they are easy to measure out and sprinkle over food. They initially release their full chilli aroma in the mouth, but do not yet have such a strong effect on the pain nerves. They only develop their full heat in the stomach. If the chilli flakes are cooked, however, they release their full heat into the dish. Contents: 50g
