History and growing traditions

Ají Amarillo, also called ají escabeche, is a Capsicum baccatum pepper associated with Peru's coastal growing tradition. Peru's environment ministry identifies it as native to that region, and government accounts list it among the country's most used chiles. Its place in Peruvian sauces and savory cooking helped make its bright flavor recognizable beyond Peru.

This product is ground chile, ready to measure into sauces, rubs, and cooked dishes. This history describes the pepper variety, not the verified growing origin of this batch.
