Aji Panca Seco is a sun-dried chili pepper with a unique flavor and intensity. Also known as Aji Colorado, it is a deep red to burgundy pepper, measuring 3-5 inches. It is the second most common pepper in Peru, grown near the coast.

Similar in shape to the Aji Amarillo, it is less spicy and has a sweet, berry-like, and slightly smoky flavor. This pepper is commonly used in Peruvian cooking, perfect for stews, sauces, and fish dishes.
