Cachucha Aji (clam)

Aji cachucha is a mild, sweet pepper from the Caribbean and Latin America, prized for its aromatic, fruity flavor rather than heat. Resembling a habanero or Scotch bonnet, it offers a smoky sweetness that enhances dishes without overwhelming them. Rich in vitamins A and C, it contributes to overall health and wellness. This pepper is a key ingredient in traditional Caribbean cuisine, particularly in sofrito, and is used to flavor rice, beans, soups, and stews, providing a delicious way to boost your nutrient intake and support a healthy immune system.
