Aji Amarillo chile peppers are native to Peru and are an essential ingredient in traditional Peruvian dishes. The peppers have a long history in Peruvian cuisine, dating back thousands of years to the Inca civilization. Our Aji Amarillo fine ground chili pepper powder is derived from these distinct yellow-orange peppers.
Appearance: Before processing, the Aji Amarillo chili peppers are medium-sized and have a unique bright yellow to orange color when fully ripe. They have slightly wrinkled skin and an elongated, tapered shape. The peppers are known for their vibrant appearance and add a pop of color to dishes.
Heat and Flavor: Aji Amarillo chili peppers have a moderate heat level, ranging from 30K to 50K SHUs. While they provide a noticeable kick, they are generally milder than some of the spicier chili pepper varieties. This makes Aji Amarillo fine ground chili pepper powder accessible to a wide range of taste preferences. Additionally, Aji Amarillo chili peppers offer a unique and distinct flavor profile. They have a fruity, slightly floral taste with a subtle hint of citrus. The flavor is often described as pleasantly tangy and mildly sweet. Aji Amarillo powder adds a delicious depth and complexity to dishes without overpowering the other flavors.
