Rocoto Large Red Pepper Seeds

Rocoto Large Red pepper seeds develop into plants that produce uniquely shaped peppers, resembling apples, a feature that lends them the alternative name ‘Manzano,’ meaning apple in Spanish. Originating from the high altitudes of the Andes in Peru, these peppers are notable for their black seeds and striking purple flowers, adding a touch of uniqueness to their appearance.

Mature Rocoto plants exhibit considerable cold resistance, making them well-suited to cooler climates where they can thrive and produce fruits right up to the onset of frost. The peppers themselves are roughly 5 x 5 cm and mature to a vibrant red, offering a heat level of 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units.

This makes them a robust choice for culinary use, particularly in dishes that require a moderate yet palpable heat. The Rocoto Large Red is ideal for stews, salsas, and sauces where its distinct flavor and heat can significantly enhance the dish’s overall taste.
