Available in multiple sizes, it’s a key ingredient in authentic Peruvian dishes and innovative cocktails, offering both visual appeal and complex taste. ## Description The aji amarillo is a member of capsicum baccatum, one of the five domesticated pepper species, and is grown all over Peru. The aji amarillo—aji means chili pepper and amarillo means yellow in Spanish—is considered part of the Peruvian "holy trinity" when it comes to their cuisine, along with garlic and red onion. Review: Spicy Cocktail - OK, so these may not be the real thing; but they work for our use. I add three chilies (I have to slice them in half vertically) to a bottle of Pisco. Then I allow the Pisco to sit for several months (the longer, the better). The stuff I’m using was started in October; this is Easter. To a rocks glass I add two shots of Pisco, about a half a teaspoon rosemary simple syrup, a half a bottle of ginger beer and some ice. We call this a “Snakebite”. Review: Very tasty, great for Peruvian recipes, a subtle heat, great yellow color - I love Peruvian food but prefer to make it at home because it tends to be expensive in restaurants. My two favorite dishes that use aji amarillo are aji de gallina and causa. Before, I was getting the aji paste in a jar, which was very good but also a little pricey. I like that you can use what you need of these peppers and control all the ingredients. I just rehydrate these when I need them for a recipe. You get some color variat ions; some are a pale yellow and some are a deep, rich yellow. They are the whole peppers, d ried, with some of the seeds intact. These are a little more economical than the jarred paste, but the reason I gave a 4 out of 5 was the quantity of these that you g et for the price. If they had cost a few dollars less, I would have given them a 5 out of 5. ## Features - Although this pepper is literally named "yellow chili pepper," its color changes to a bright orange as it matures. - The chili pods have a thick skin, are 4 to 5 inches long, and are considered hot (it is 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville Heat unit scale). - Smelling a bit like a raisin, this chili's taste is somewhat subtle with hints of passion fruit and mango, imparting a unique flavor to any dish. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B092L7T7VF | | Best Sellers Rank | #175,701 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #572 in Chili Powders | | Brand | Morel Distribution Company | | Brand Name | Morel Distribution Company | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 11 Reviews | | Item Form | Dried | | Item Package Weight | 0.11 kg | | Manufacturer | Morel Distribution Company | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Produce Sold As Format | Loose | | Produce sold as | Loose | | Size | 4 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 728488987773 | | Unit Count | 4 Ounce | ## Images ![Dried Aji Amarillo Pepper (Chile Amarillo) WT: 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 1 lb, 2 lb, 5 lb and 10 lb!

These are big brown, and also savory. But they aren't Aji Amarillo peppers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/331559334-dried-aji-amarillo-pepper-chile-amarillo-wt-2-oz-4](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/331559334-dried-aji-amarillo-pepper-chile-amarillo-wt-2-oz-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
