    Wonders of Peru: Plastic Eating Fungus

Solving two of Earth’s most urgent

    What is this Aji Charapita Chili named for, and what is the meaning of Charapita

    There are two popular opinions that Aji Charapita, got his name from. Some say, the name of the #AjiCharapita comes from the northern region of the jungles of Peru.

Others believe the name goes back to a freshwater turtle the Tortuga Charapa, that lives in rivers, marshes, lakes and shallow lagoons in Amazonia and Orinoquía exactly whe

    The history of chili peppers begins in South America…
