Rocoto Arequipa Chilli Seeds

Produced using 100% renewable energy!

This is one of the giant Rocotos. It is prized by gardeners and chefs alike for their large size, and thick fleshy and tasty pods. They can produce fruits that up to 5cm in diameter! They have the perfect balance of flavour and a medium heat.

Note that this is a hybrid created by chilli enthusiasts. And as with many new hybrids, there is a chance that the strain isn't fully stable. So there is a chance you may end up with a plant that is a bit different from the original. But this is the exciting part of growing new weird and wonderful varieties that the chilli breeding community produces. 

Heat level: Approx. 30,000-100,000 SHUs. Learn about Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) here.
