    Aji Dulce has the same shape, size, color and aroma of Habanero, with only a trace of heat. The fruits are highly aromatic and the flavor is unusual and complex, with overtones of black pepper and coriander, and undertones of other spicy flavors. The pods are tapered and mature from pale green to orange and then to red. The NuMex Sauve developed by NMSU is closely related.
