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 mildest of habanero peppers in terms of heat. In spite of its intense heat, the Rocoto has also been called sweet and fruity.
If you’re looking for a new way to spice up your cooking, the Rocoto pepper is a great way to do it. It’s a sure-fire way to bring the heat!
