Start and grow
Sow seeds about ¼ inch deep in warm soil. Pepper seeds can take time to germinate, so start early and keep the seed-starting mix warm and evenly moist, not soggy. Transplant seedlings after frost danger has passed and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions.
Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Space plants about 12–18 inches apart and water moderately, giving extra attention during dry periods. A layer of compost at planting can help get young plants established.
Harvest and enjoy
Pick pods green for a fresh, savory flavor, or let them ripen to orange for a fuller, sweeter aroma. In Venezuelan cooking, green fruit is used to flavor soups, while ripe Aji Jobito is a natural fit for sofrito and stews. Add it to rice, eggs, fish, and seafood dishes for fragrant pepper flavor without the intensity of a hot chili.
