Aji amarillo?

[pschneider]

Anyone know where to buy aji amarillo powder (Bolivian or Peruvian yellow chile powder)? The Shop and Bag supermarket on North Broad Street (formerly Supremo), my usual go-to place for odd Latin ingredients, had yellow aji paste and jarred yellow aji peppers from Peru, but no powder. Thanks.

Supreme Food Market at Orthodox & Castor in NE Philly is an excellent source of all things Andean (as well as pretty much anything else in Latin American cuisine that you can think of).

'penzys' is the wrong name

In the Seattle area, I don't think I've ever seen the powder. I have seen the pastes, sauces, and whole dried ones. I don't see powder listed at Amigo Foods either

Thanks for the tips. I went to the Savory store in Princeton over the weekend and picked up some whole dried and some ground.

As a side note, the store manager said they will ship up to a set amount of product for a fixed shipping fee if you contact the store directly. With a large purchase, the shipping cost can be considerably less than what the website charges.
