Fresh NZ Grown Rocotos Hot Chillies
Buy fresh New Zealand Grown Rocotos Hot Chillies delivered to your door!
Rocoto chillies, hailing from the mountainous regions of South America, are a vibrant and robust addition to any culinary arsenal. These stout, round peppers are distinguishable by their thick flesh, which offers a delightful crunch, enhancing the texture of dishes. They provide a profound heat that lingers without overwhelming, rated moderately high on the Scoville scale. In cooking, rocotos introduce a unique blend of flavors—fruity with a hint of smokiness, making them perfect for salsas, stews, and sauces. To harness their full potential, consider roasting or stuffing them, as these methods beautifully accentuate their complex taste and textural contributions.
