Aji Amarillo

Aji Amarillo is a chili pepper that is the most popular variety in Peru. You'll find a creamy Aji Amarillo chili paste condiment on every restaurant table in Peru. In fact, Aji Amarillo is considered part of the "holy trinity" ingredients in Peruvian cooking, alongside garlic and red onion, and might be the most important single ingredient in Peruvian cuisine. These chilis have a raisin-y scent, impart tropical fruit notes of passion fruit and mango, and are fiery hot (30,000 - 50,000 Scoville units). Use to add zing and a building heat in soups, stews, ceviche, or make any number of authentic Peruvian dishes. Contains: 100% Peruvian aji amarillo chilis (ground).
