Commercial overview
Arequipa and Tacna receive some of the highest solar radiation in Peru, driving ASTA values consistently between 100 and 140+. That puts the product above the threshold required by European and US meat processing, oleoresin extraction, and industrial seasoning programs. Available as whole dried pods, crushed flakes, or milled powder, with aflatoxin and ochratoxin tightly controlled and documented per lot.
