The Ají caballero (or gentleman pepper)[1] is a scarce hot chilli pepper used as the basis of most Puerto Rican condiments, such as the Pique sauce. The fruit of this plant stands vertically, unlike other peppers that hang down from the branches. The plant grows to approximately 7½-10cm (3-4ft) in height.
