Peru Yellow Hot Pepper Seeds (Capsicum baccatum)

Peru Yellow Hot Pepper, also known as Aji Amarillo, is a vibrant and flavorful chili pepper native to Peru and widely used in Peruvian cuisine. This pepper has a rich history, dating back thousands of years to the Andes, where it was cultivated by ancient civilizations for its intense flavor and bright yellow hue. A staple in South American cooking, it is particularly renowned for its use in traditional dishes like aji de gallina and ceviche.

The plants are vigorous and reach a height of 80–120 cm, producing elongated, slightly wrinkled fruits that measure 10–15 cm in length and 2–3 cm in diameter. The peppers start green and ripen to a vivid golden-yellow color, adding a splash of brightness to any garden or dish. Each pepper weighs approximately 20–30 grams. With a Scoville Heat Unit range of 30,000–50,000, Peru Yellow Hot Peppers provide a medium level of heat that enhances dishes without overwhelming them. Fruits mature in about 90–120 days after transplanting, with the plants yielding prolifically throughout the growing season.

The flavor of Peru Yellow Hot Peppers is distinctively fruity and slightly tangy, with subtle citrus undertones. Their unique taste makes them ideal for fresh salsas, sauces, marinades, and even drying for use in chili powders. The combination of heat and sweetness enhances a wide range of culinary applications, making them a versatile choice for home cooks and professional chefs alike.

Cultivation Recommendations:
• Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Maintain a temperature of 24–30°C for optimal germination, which typically occurs within 7–14 days.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors or into containers once the soil temperature consistently exceeds 20°C. Space plants 50–60 cm apart, ensuring full sunlight.
• Grow in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Regular watering is essential, but avoid overwatering.
• Fertilize with a balanced formula during early growth stages, transitioning to a phosphorus-rich formula during flowering and fruit production.
• Harvest peppers when they reach their full yellow color for the best flavor and heat.
