PERUVIAN ROCOTO PEPPER

 Looking somewhat like a red pepper, but with thicker, juicier walls, Cuzco’s favorite rocoto is a pepper on steroids of flavor and heat.  One of the five domesticated species of peppers, rocoto (capsicum pubescens) may well be the least known outside of its original highland home and yet it is one of the most flavorful of peppers and is absolutely necessary for Cuzco’s cuisine.

What Does It Taste Like?

Capsicum pubescens, the rocoto, is unusual in many ways and diverges significantly from other peppers.  It is known for being unusually hot, reportedly between 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units.  Evidently it has a distinctive combination of capsaicinoids, the chemicals that make peppers hot, such that its heat tastes different.  Furthermore, the rocoto has a flavor that is reminiscent of pine.

It has thick, juicy walls, and black or dark brown seeds. No other pepper has seeds of this color nor do they have purple flowers like the rocoto.  In addition, the stems of the rocoto look hairy which is what gives it the name pubescens.
