I buy many good-quality jarred and dried Peruvian pantry staples and frozen ingredients like peppers, the herb huacatay, and choclo (large-kernel corn) from these quality importers. I expect we will see more Peruvian importers and dedicated retailers in the years to come. Peruvian ingredients are available from several online retailers, at well-stocked Latin markets, and in some specialty food shops.
Look for Japanese ingredients like kombu (a dried seaweed), miso, and yuzu kosho paste at well-stocked grocery stores, Asian markets, and online from small retailers or Amazon. Also look for:
Jarred: Ají amarillo, ají panca, and rocoto pastes; Botija olives
Dried: Pallares (lima beans) and mayocoba (canario) beans; maíz chulpe (dried corn for popping) and maíz morada (dried purple corn); papas secas (dried potatoes); trigo (barley), kinuwa (quinoa) and kiwicha (amaranth); Mexican oregano
Frozen: Whole ají amarillo, ají panca, and rocoto peppers; huacatay; choclo corn; tropical fruits including lucuma
La Tienda (tienda.com), Latin Merchant (latinmerchant.com), and Kosmos Foods (kosmosperu.com) are among several online retailers specializing in Peruvian or Latin food products. Major online retailers like Amazon also carry a range of Peruvian products. Other retailers include:
