The Soul of Peruvian Cuisine — Fruity Heat with Mango & Passion Fruit Notes
Aji Amarillo (Capsicum baccatum) is the cornerstone of Peruvian cooking — a vibrant orange-yellow chili with fruity heat reminiscent of mango and passion fruit. Similar in punch to a Scotch Bonnet but with a distinctive raisin-like aroma and thick, bright skin. An essential for ceviche, stews, and traditional Andean sauces like huancaina and ocopa.

Growing Tips
Plant in full sun with rich, well-draining soil. Amend the planting hole with compost and feed every 2–3 weeks for the first 6 weeks. Mulch the base with 1–2″ of compost to retain moisture. Keep indoors during cold snaps below 55°F.
Harvest Tips
Harvest with clean garden scissors when fruits reach full orange. Frequent harvesting encourages new bud formation and extends the productive season.
