Been a lot of chatter regarding Aji Charapita recently. A wonderful, readily available and extremely cheap pepper from Iquitos, Peru in the Loreto region.
Contrary to the rumors, this is one of the cheapest peppers in the world. The rumor was started in 2016 by tomato grower and marketing specialist, Eric Stekovics, in order to garner the highest prices possible during the time they were producing them. He wrote many articles that gained national attention and was featured in a Ruptly special.
The veil has been lifted.
Now go find some Aji Charapita and get to growing it!
