CACHUCHA PEPPER

The Cachucha pepper, also known as ají dulce, is a small, lantern-shaped pepper popular in Caribbean and Latin American cooking. Despite its resemblance to hot peppers, it delivers a sweet, mild flavor with barely any heat, making it perfect for adding depth to sauces, stews, and sofritos. Its bright green to red coloring adds visual appeal to dishes as well.

Nutritionally, Cachucha peppers are a good source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, supporting immune health and digestion. They also contain small amounts of vitamin A and potassium. Loved for their flavor without the burn, Cachucha peppers are a versatile ingredient that enhances many traditional recipes.
