Description
Aji Amarillo chile, also known as Peruvian yellow pepper, is a type of chili pepper that is native to Peru and widely used in Peruvian cuisine. It is known for its distinctive bright yellow color, medium heat level, and unique fruity and floral flavor.
Aji Amarillo chiles are typically medium-sized, elongated peppers with a wrinkled texture and a glossy appearance. They are often used in both fresh and dried forms in Peruvian dishes, such as ceviche, causa, and various sauces. Aji Amarillo is also a key ingredient in the popular Peruvian sauce called “Aji Amarillo sauce,” which is made by blending or pureeing the chiles with other ingredients like garlic, lime juice, and cilantro.
