Aji Panca Chile Pepper

One of the most common chile peppers in Peru, this chile is considered to be one of the larger types of chilies grown. Growing from 3 to 5 inches in length, the aji panca has a somewhat thick flesh that matures from a green to dark red in color. This chile is mild in heat intensity and provides a fruity, berry-like flavor that goes well in stews, sauces and fish dishes.
