25+ Seeds Manzano or Apple Chili Pepper (Capsicum pubescens) Chile Rocoto Fresh.
The manzano pepper is an apple-shaped hot chili with a distinctively fruity, citrusy flavor, the perfect chili for making hot sauces and salsa. It originates from Mexican and South America.
Manzano peppers are good to eat raw or cooked, and the taste is similar to that of a mild jalapeƱo, though fruitier. You can either cook it or eat it just like you would eat an apple. You'll definitely notice the sweetness associated with this pepper more than other hot peppers.
The Manzano pepper is a medium-hot chili, falling somewhere in the 10,000-30,000 Scoville Heat Units range on the Scoville Scale. Compare this to the popular jalapeno pepper and the manzano can reach up to 6 times hotter than the average jalapeno.
