Aribibi Gusano

Species: Capsicum chinense | Origin: Bolivia | Pungency: Very Hot

Aribibi Gusano, also known as 'Aji Gusano', 'Arivivi Gusano', 'Aji Gusanito', 'Caterpillar Pepper' and 'Turtle's Claw', is a much-loved variety from the city of Aribibi in the Amazon Rainforest region of Bolivia. The plants have a compact bushy growth habit and produce masses of wrinkled, caterpillar-shaped chillies which start light green and ripen to pastel yellow. Aribibi Gusano chillies have an amazing flavour and work very well in salsas, sauces, stews and stir fries. The word 'gusano' means 'worm' in Spanish, and the word 'gusanito' means 'little worm'.
