Aji Amarillo (aka yellow chile, Peruvian chile) is the chile most commonly found in Peru. Despite being called the yellow chile, they are actually orange when ready for consumption. Aji Amarillos tend to be medium-hot.
We also offer non-organic dried aji amarillo peppers and pre-ground aji amarillo chili powder in bulk.
Storage: Store organic aji amarillo chili peppers in an air-tight container in a cool, dark cupboard.
Shelf Life: Aji amarillos will retain their potency for at least a year, but likely much longer.
Reconstitute aji amarillo chilies and add to soups, sauces, and other dishes. Chop them up, toast them (optional) slightly and add them still dried. Take the tops off and grind them into chili powder using a spice grinder or blender for use as is or as part of your own spice blends. Aji Amarillo chilies are indispensable in Peruvian cooking.
