PROPÓSITO
¿QUÉ ES?
This fabulously fruity pungent Peruvian pepper brings that brilliant yellow hue to a lot of peruvian cooking, along with a gradual, yet assertive heat (30K to 50K Scovilles), if not fully deseeded. It’s a wonderful alternative to more musky, smoky peppers.
EXPERIENCIA
This medium spice, fruity chile pepper can be used on it’s own or as a background ingredient to add complexity to a recipe. Blend it with red onion and cilantro (corriander) and you have the trinity combo of Peruvian cooking.

- Ají amarillo
- Piquanté Pepper
- ají limon
- Bishop’s crown
