Aji Cereza peppers are a variety most commonly found in the Peruvian jungle. One of the smaller varieties of chile pepper, they are cherry shaped and a deep red color. They rank just below habanero chilies on many pepper heat scales, making them a good substitution if you’re looking to reduce the heat level of a habanero based recipe by only a little bit.

Storage: Store organic aji cereza peppers in an air-tight container in a cool, dark cupboard.

Shelf Life: Aji cereza chilies will retain their potency for at least a year, but likely much longer.

Reconstitute aji cereza 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. Perfect for sauces, salsas and Mexican, Central American & South American cooking when you want to bring the heat.
