Must Try for Spice-Lovers Visiting Panama! Aji Chombo!

The Aji Chombo, the black pepper, the famous Panamanian scotch bonnet! Ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (far outpacing the jalapeno's 2,500 to 8,000 units), this national sauce adds kick to any dish! The recipe for this smoking sauce is attributed to Antillean-Panamanians who largely traveled to Panama to work on the construction of the Panama Railroad and the Panama Canal.
