Description:
The Aji Amarillo is an iconic Peruvian chili pepper known for its vibrant orange color and medium heat. These peppers are about 1 to 2 inches long, much smaller than the typical 5 to 7 inches for mature Aji Amarillo peppers.

Culinary Uses:

  • Frying: Despite their size, the immature Aji Amarillo peppers possess a mildly warm and fruity flavor that makes them excellent for frying, akin to Spanish Padron or Italian Friariello peppers.
  • Roasting: Both the ripe and nearly ripe peppers are fantastic for roasting, adding a rich flavor to soups, stews, eggs, and quiches.

Growing Tips:

  • Seed Starting: Start the seeds early as Aji Amarillo peppers require a lengthy growing period to reach maturity.
  • Optimal Conditions: Plant these peppers in the warmest and sunniest part of your garden to encourage ripening. In cooler or more northern climates, consider using a greenhouse or planting against a sunny wall.
  • Watering: Regular and ample watering is crucial for producing a high yield of fruit.

This profile serves to inform potential growers and culinary enthusiasts about the Aji Amarillo's unique traits, ideal growing conditions, and versatile culinary applications, making it a valuable addition to any garden or kitchen.
