Description
The Onza Amarillo is a traditional pepper from the Oaxaca region of Mexico producing long slender pods that ripen from green to a golden yellow with a pleasant citrus sweetness and moderate fruity heat.

Its distinctive citrus tones and attractive golden color make it a standout variety among the diverse chile peppers of Oaxaca.
