It originates in Peru and bears some physical resemblance to the Lemon Drop chili. The prolific plants are easy to grow and produce many fruits throughout the summer that grow to about 2 inches long and ½ inch wide with a tapered shape. They mature from green to a beautiful yellowish-orange with a somewhat citrusy flavor, excellent when used fresh in salad or salsa, and delicious when dried or powdered.
