Description:
The Aji Amarillo pepper is native to South America and a staple in Peruvian cuisines. This pepper is the largest of the Aji pepper family, reaching a length of 4-5" long!
Aji Amarillo pepper plants grow to be sturdy, 3 ft. tall plants and are very productive. These pods are longer than other Aji pepper varieties, maturing from green to bright orange with thick flesh and shiny, smooth skin.
The Aji Amarillo is BURSTING with an amazingly fruity, almost berry-like flavor. The heat is no joke either, coming in at a mere 30,000-50,000 SHUs. Its most common appearance in Peruvian culture is in the form of a paste, but can be found used in a handful of Spanish dishes! Such a fantastic pepper and very versatile!
