Montufar Rocoto Chilli Seeds

Montufar Rocoto Chilli Seeds – 10 Fresh Seeds

The Montufar Rocoto is a traditional variety of Capsicum pubescens, treasured in the Andean regions of South America. Unlike most chillies, Rocotos thrive in cooler climates, making them perfect for growers outside of the tropics who still want to enjoy authentic, fiery pods.

Montufar plants are vigorous and long-lived, with distinctive hairy leaves and pretty purple flowers. The fruits are thick-walled, apple-shaped, and ripen from green to deep red. Heat levels are hot – often in the 50,000–100,000 SHU range – with a crisp, fruity flavour that stands out in fresh salsas, sauces, and traditional South American dishes.

SHU: 50,000-100,000
