So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex citrus and tropical fruit flavor! Our Orange Charapita ground pepper, crushed flakes, and fermented puree are hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is vibrant and builds quickly, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Charapita originates from the northern jungles of the Peruvian Amazon, where it is often harvested wild, resulting in its exclusive status and premium quality. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Charapita peppers have a distinctive appearance, appearing as tiny, pea-sized orange or yellow marbles. They are often characterized by their diminutive size and immense aromatic profile, making them a rare and recognizable jewel in the chili community.

The Experience

Orange Charapitas are known to be the most expensive pepper in the world by weight! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex, lemon-like flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Charapitas. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This puree is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in seafood dishes, high-end salsas, and tropical sauces. For the brave of heart, just add a drop directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our Orange Charapita puree with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet peppers like our Yellow Aji Amarillo to maintain the Peruvian flavor profile without the overwhelming heat. This will still give you the citrusy floral flavor of the Charapita while softening the burn.
