Yellow Amazon Chilli

New to our range of chillies, the Yellow Amazon is from Colombia and takes its place alongside the hotter chillies we stock. It has sharp, fruity notes and a subtle acidity alongside its heat, similar to Tabasco chilli. Its lovely yellow colour comes from the fact that it is harvested before maturity.

The chilli releases its heat during cooking, so if you’re a fan of properly hot food pop one or two into your dish early on in the cooking process; this is especially effective when making a slow cooked dish like Chilli con Carne or Curry Goat. Adding towards the end of cooking will still give your dish heat, but it will be less intense. Rehydrated (by soaking in a little warm water), the Yellow Amazon will make excellent salsas and sauces. A welcome addition to our range for all the true hotheads out there!
