the distinctive spicy aroma reminiscent of citrus, particularly lemon, makes this variety highly prized in Peruvian cuisine, where it is also called Kellu Uchu.
Diseases and Pests of dried Hot Lemon pepper
generally hardy, this variety can be affected by aphids and red spider mites under protected cultivation; good air circulation between plants prevents the main fungal issues.
