Product Description

Peru, on the west pacific coast of South America, is an ancient country and the seat of several prominent Andean civilizations, most notably the Incas. The Incas used an important seasoning called "uchu," which was used in the cooking of wild game. Today this particular blend is known as Aji. Our Peruvian Inca Aji blend is made with hand-picked Peruvian peppers, which impart a characteristic flavor not found in any other chili pepper. The heat of our Aji blend will take you on a journey into the ancient world of Inca mysticism and exotic traditions. At Nirmalas Kitchen we want you to experience the true taste of Peru: Bring home the exotic.

The Peruvian Inca Aji Spice is very flavorful and you only need to use a little bit to give a kick to eggs and meat dishes. My boyfriend is from Peru and loves this spice in his food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best spice for empanadas!, November 13, 2009

My Peruvian friend taught me how to make empanadas and he used this spice (but sent to him from his friend in Peru). My husband ordered this off of Amazon because we couldn't find Aji in the grocery or health food stores. This was a good price for a decent ammount of the spice.

This review is from: Peruvian Inca Aji (Misc.)

If you've eaten Peruvian food, you've tasted aji pepper spice- it is the cornerstone spice of Peruvian cooking it.

it is more flavorful than spicy.

I use it when doing a ground beef fry up, and when making traditional Peruvian empanadas.

This spice can be difficult to find, and the quality is very fine. A good purchase at a decent price.
