Rocoto Pepper Scoville
The Rocoto pepper can get pretty scorching hot, but it can vary widely on the Scoville Scale—anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units. This makes some Rocoto peppers on par with the habanero in terms of heat. In spite of its intense heat, the Rocoto has also been called sweet and fruity.
