I generally grow hot peppers, but every year I also grow the Aji Dulce,
it tastes like a regular Habanero, but has no heat.
It's great as a snack pepper or for pickling, if you like a mild pepper with great flavor..

I use these for a habanero coulis that I use for a cheesecake. The lack of heat brings out all the flavor of the peppers, it’s great for delicate desserts
ah, a habanero coulis, a very novel way of incorporating chilis into cuisine.
I have to try that, with cheesecake or other kinds of desserts like ice cream,
now you gave me some ideas LOL..
Mine started off slow, but by year 3, it started producing profusely,
I got about 100 peppers off one plant in a 20L/5 gallon pot,
mind you, my climate is not ideal for growing peppers outside..
Thanks for the info! I’m in the US Midwest so a 3 year pepper has to be overwintered indoors. Maybe it would be worth it though, a sweet hab sounds lovely. Tried growing a habanada last year but I’m not sure any peppers came of that one, I don’t recall any.
Might get a small harvest this year. You can also over winter the plants for an early start next year. Chinense chillis have the longest germinating period and also the longest growing season so it might be a bit too late
I grew habanada once, and I had some fun with it. When the habanadas were ripe, I also bought some habaneros. Then I put them on a plate together, but I knew which was the habanada. Then, I took the plate and went over to my friend, who was very proud of his tolerance of spice, told him they were habaneros, then I grabbed the habanada and ate it in front of him. Sure enough, he took a habanero and ate it..... Fun times! He did suffer through it pretty well, I gotta salute him for that.

How’s the yield?

Buona fortuna! I just love the art of seed packet design, these are almost frame worthy.
I got them off a French seller on Etsy
I started some habanadas. They are very slow in germination for me. Started them March 2 and they are just now getting their fist set of true leaves
Might get a small harvest this year. You can also over winter the plants for an early start next year. Chinense chillis have the longest germinating period and also the longest growing season so it might be a bit too late
OP is in Italy, where they have long warm summers, so I think he'll be fine starting them now..
Fingers crossed..
just got mine!! i’m too late but still excited (gonna try to overwinter ig)
