{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-aji-crujiente-chilli","title":"Aji Crujiente Chilli","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrujiente is Spanish for crunchy, and that is the whole point of this one. The pods are thick-walled and plump, closer to a small bell pepper than a chilli in texture, juicy and crisp, with a sweet fruity flavour and a strong aroma the moment you cut one. The heat is mild enough to eat it by the slice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a baccatum, one of the South American ajis, and it behaves like the best of them: easy, vigorous and absurdly productive over a long season. Unlike Aji Colorado and the other tall ajis it stays a sensible medium size, so it needs no staking and will sit happily in a pot. The flowers carry the small cream or greenish petal markings that mark out a true aji.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crunch is what you are growing it for, so use it fresh. Sliced raw into a salad, diced through a salsa, or quick-pickled to keep the snap. It will dry and grind into a fragrant powder like any aji, but drying throws away the one thing that makes it worth the space, and the aroma goes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54340133257549,"sku":"sku-57303881384313","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Aji_Crujiente.png?v=1784539505","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-aji-crujiente-chilli","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
