Aji Amarillo
Theaji amarillo(Spanish for "yellow chili") offers a complex and vibrant flavor profile that is simultaneously fruity, sweet, and moderately spicy, with notes of tropical fruits like mango, passion fruit, and a subtle raisiny finish.Originating in theAndes Mountainsof Peru, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years and is considered a foundational ingredient in the nation's cuisine, this pepper is a member of theCapsicum baccatumspecies and develops a bright orange hue when fully ripe. With a heat range of 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), comparable to a cayenne pepper, its primary use is in traditional Peruvian dishes such asceviche,aji de gallina(chicken stew),causa rellena(layered potato salad), andpapa a la huancaína(potatoes in a creamy cheese sauce). It is widely available and used in fresh, dried, or paste form to add depth, color, and heat to a variety of salsas, soups, stews, and marinades, and can even be incorporated into modern fusion dishes like risottos or spicy desserts.

Limo
Theaji limopepper offers a distinctive flavor profile known for its intense, immediate heat and a bright, complex blend of floral, fruity notes with a prominent sour citrus tang, similar to lemons or limes. Originating on the western slopes of theAndes Mountainsin Peru, where it has been a staple in local cuisine for centuries and is named after the capital city, Lima, it is prized for its high heat level, typically ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Due to its unique citrusy heat, the aji limo is a vital ingredient in traditional Peruvian dishes, most notably incevicheandtiradito, where it enhances the freshness of seafood. It is also widely used in salsas, hot sauces, marinades for chicken and fish, and can be incorporated into soups, stews, and stir-fries, and is available in fresh, dried, or paste form.

Rocoto
The rocoto pepper provides a complex flavor profile that is sweet and fruity with subtle grassy undertones, which then gives way to an intense, lingering heat ranging from 30,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).Originating in the high altitudes of theAndes Mountainsin Peru and Bolivia, where it has been cultivated for over 5,000 years, the rocoto is unique among peppers for its thick, juicy, apple-like appearance and distinctive, edible black seeds. Due to its substantial, thick flesh, it is challenging to dry and is thus primarily used fresh or as a paste in traditional Peruvian and Bolivian cuisines for iconic dishes likerocoto relleno(stuffed peppers), salsas, hot sauces, stews, and ceviche.

Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is often preferred over conventional seed oilsdue to key differences in sourcing, chemical stability, and health impacts. Unlike industrial seed oils (like soybean, corn, or canola) that are heavily refined with chemicals and high heat from seed derivatives, avocado oil is extracted from the fruit pulp, often via cold-pressing, preserving beneficial nutrients and requiring less processing. This results in a superior fatty acid profile that is predominantly monounsaturated fat (oleic acid), which is highly stable and resistant to oxidation even at high temperatures (up to 520°F), making it an exceptionally safe and healthy option for high-heat cooking. Conversely, many seed oils are high in less stable polyunsaturated fats (omega-6 fatty acids) which can more easily oxidize when heated, potentially leading to the formation of inflammatory compounds in the body.

Dates
Dates offer a wide array of health benefits packed into a naturally sweet fruit, primarily due to their rich content of fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals.The high dietary fiber content aids significantly in digestion by promoting regular bowel movements, preventing constipation, and supporting a healthy gut microbiome, which in turn can help manage blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar. Furthermore, dates are an excellent source of various antioxidants like flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acids, which help protect cells from free radical damage and reduce inflammation, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and certain cancers. They also provide vital minerals for bone health, including potassium, magnesium, copper, and manganese, and their natural sugars offer a quick, sustained energy boost, making them a nutritious alternative to refined sweets.

Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) offers a range of potential health benefits, primarily attributed to its main active compound, acetic acid, and the natural probiotics and antioxidants present in unfiltered varieties. The most well-supported benefit is its ability tohelp regulateblood sugar levelsby improving insulin sensitivity and slowing the digestion of carbohydrates, which helps prevent rapid spikes in glucose after meals. It may also modestly supportweight managementby increasing feelings of fullness and thereby reducing calorie intake. Additionally, studies suggest ACV can help lower total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, contributing toheart health, and its antimicrobial properties help kill harmful bacteria and fungi in the body and on surfaces.
