Aji Amarillo - Page 2

jmsieglaff · January 23, 2015

Fred,

Thanks again. I sowed some Aji Amarillo seeds on 1/10/2015, first germination was 1/20/2015. Germination rate is good, 2 have helmets, 1 of which was rescued and hopefully the other will be in a couple of days.

My peppers are kept cooler than most grow them, so I wasn't sure how'd they do germination wise--but they even beat my Serranos by a day. My Fish peppers are always slow--usually just over 14 days.

Just out of curiosity, is this the same or very similar to Ají Yellow 2, which I grow? I received my seed indirectly through chileplants.com.

I think the one I have is closest to this one.

Oops! I don't know what happened to the image I posted. Here it is again.

Similar, but not the same. In fact the one I'm growing is not from the same species. But I dearly love them. Thanks for the reply.

The fruits on the one that I grow are not so crumpled. They are pretty smooth.

Here are my Aji Amarillo seedlings. My basement is rather cool so they grow slowly but nice and stocky. A Serrano is on the left Ajis are the right two. How is everyone else's?

My wife is from Peru, where Aji Amarillo peppers are very popular. I am growing some AjiAmarillo this year, but I have no idea if it is the same pepper that is grown in Peru, until I see the fruit. If anyone knows where I might be able to obtain some Peruvian Aji amarillo seeds, I'd be most grateful!

I'm growing some Aji Amarillo that I received as a freebee from
pepperlover.com. The picture one her website is a larger pepper,
and looks more orange. Must be more than one type.

Here's an update - I only planted 2 seeds, both germinated quickly and now plant is covered with peppers.

Thank you so much for your generousity.

They look great Barb!

At that stage they are mild, and can be used as frying peppers.

Later on they get hotter, and the color changes from yellow to orange.

We like them at both stages, but most of our sales are of the immature yellow peppers which we sell to chefs in frying pepper mixes.

Wow, they look awesome!
How hot are they? What do you like to use them for?

Cole_Robbie · April 14, 2015

Nice pic, Barb!

I found a web pic of some Ajis from Peru:

So I guess the one we have is the yellow Aji?

How do I tell when the peppers are ripe? Or can I use them at any stage of ripeness?

Barb_FL · April 14, 2015

Fred, Thanks for the info; I appreciate it.

Tracy - We used them for a Thai dish - they were not hot at all at this stage.
