Origin
Grown in the Netherlands, where controlled growing conditions allow chilli peppers to develop their distinctive colour, flavour, and heat. Lemon Drop is a striking yellow chilli variety, recognised for its bright citrus character and vibrant appearance.
Why We Stock It
Our Dutch Lemon Drop Chilli Peppers are carefully selected for their fresh texture, vivid yellow colour, and distinctive combination of fruity citrus flavour and lively heat. They offer more than just spice, bringing a refreshing lemon-like character that adds brightness and depth to a wide range of dishes.
Best Used For
Perfect for sauces, salsas, marinades, dressings, curries, and stir-fries. They work particularly well with seafood, chicken, vegetables, noodles, and fresh herbs. Finely sliced, they can also be used raw to add a bright kick to salads, ceviche, and other fresh dishes.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator and use within a week or two for the best flavour, texture, and freshness. Keep dry and avoid sealing in excess moisture, which can cause the peppers to deteriorate more quickly.
Care
Wash before use and remove the stalk as required. Slice, chop, or use whole depending on the recipe. The seeds and inner membrane contain much of the chilli's heat, so remove them for a milder flavour or leave them in for extra spice. Handle carefully and wash hands thoroughly after preparation.
