If you see a Rocoto pepper, you might think it’s an ordinary bell pepper although a little smaller in size. But be careful: these are not for the faint of heart. They are much hotter than a mild, sweet bell pepper!
They are usually about the size of a golf ball, and varieties can be orange, red, and yellow. Rocoto peppers most frequently grow in South America where they originated. Because they were first cultivated thousands of years ago, it’s one of the oldest domesticated peppers to this day. The Rocoto is a crucial ingredient in Peruvian and Bolivian dishes.
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.
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!

flavorful not just heat, really enjoying the taste
The Sonoran Spice Company Rocoto Pepper Powder delivers bold, authentic heat with a distinctive fruity character that sets it apart from standard chili powders. Made from dried rocoto peppers commonly used in Peruvian cuisine, it offers a warm, lingering spice rather than a sharp burn, adding real depth to dishes. It’s a versatile, high-quality spice that works especially well in soups, stews, sauces, marinades, and traditional Peruvian recipes. A little goes a long way, making it easy to control the heat while enhancing flavor. For anyone looking to add true Andean spice and complexity to their cooking, this rocoto powder is an excellent choice. It is our first time purchasing it, and after trying it, we will continue ordering.

It's a great product. Second time I'm ordering it.
Perfect for adding a unique, sweet & spicy flavor to just about anything, without having to deal with getting the oils all over my hands. Not a lot is needed. A touch is often just right.
Tasty, good for everyday use.
Great to be able to find this obscure spice. It tasted great in my dish.
Great stuff, shipped quickly, well packaged for safe shipping.
Love this pepper. A somewhat mild heat with a great red chili aroma and flavor. A perfect chili to add to your red chili Burretos. David K.
Interesting 🤤🤤
Pretty good, unique flavor.
Clumpy, will have to use a masher
Just started using it, can't say much yet
Flavor is good. I was hoping for some more heat though. I have some Birds Eye chilis they have nice heat but I’m not a fan of the flavor. I was hopeful that this would be as hot as them with better flavor. what I got seems to be on the 30k SHU side I was hoping for the 100k side. I probably won’t be getting any more of this.
