OVERVIEW:
This chile from Peru, literally translated as “yellow chile”, has a sunny, delicious flavor to match its beautiful color. It has distinctive, lemony, sweet, fruity notes and moderate heat. Aji Amarillo powder is a key ingredient for Peruvian classics like ceviche, or for inspiring any spicy cuisine like Peruvian stew Aji de Gallina and Huancaina sauce. It is also delicious with fruit salsas and Aji Amarillo powder heats up cheese sauce or scrambled eggs perfectly.
Members of the nightshade family, chili peppers have a lot going for them. Capsaicin is the main bioactive plant compound in chile peppers and the more capsaicin it contains the hotter the chile pepper. Chile peppers have a long list of health benefits and will always provide you an abundance of vitamins and minerals. They are rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory plant compounds.
