Aji Panca dry pepper is a traditional Peruvian product typically used as a cooking condiment for stews, potatoes, snacks, meats, fish, and chicken. Each box contains 30 units, and each pallet has 90 compartments. This dried pepper is carefully sun-dried and subsequently processed to ensure its quality.
For preparation, removing the veins and seeds of the Aji Panca pepper is recommended. It should be put in a pot and covered with water to make a paste. It should be boiled for 10-15 minutes until it softens. Then, it should be put in a blender, and oil should be added until the desired paste consistency is achieved. Aji Panca contains high vitamin C, antioxidants, and beta-carotene-containing vitamin A.
Although this product can benefit health, excessive consumption can harm the gastrointestinal tract mucosa, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, ulcers, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids. It is essential to be cautious in the consumption of spicy foods and consult a doctor before consuming it in case of any gastrointestinal disease.
