Fresh Peruvian Rocoto ranks among the hottest chilies in the world, reaching about 100,000 Scoville Heat Units. While it resembles a red bell pepper in shape, it is entirely different: an explosive heat and a distinctive flavor make it a favorite for bold palates.
Star of the iconic Arequipa dish Rocoto Relleno, it’s also perfect for stews, spicy sauces, marinades, or as a fiery touch in salads. Expect a singular profile: fresh heat, fruity notes, and a slightly acidic kick.
