Rocoto Big Brown (Secluded)

Rocoto Big Brown Secluded Chilli Seeds. The Rocoto Big Brown (C. Pubescens) is a super tasty brown variation of an all time classic. Good germination and growth, these plants can reach a good 80 - 100cm. Good, typical Rocoto plant structure and hairy foliage - which is a trait of Rocotos. Flowers are a brilliant purple colour. Pods have a lovely ovaloid shape and ripen from a dark green to a eye catching chocolate brown. These pods are large in size and very fleshy. Great fresh or for sauces. crunchy, juicy with a perfect heat. 30,000 - 40,000 SHU possibly hotter. These pods have a well rounded peppery burn that is long and sustained. Very sweet with a herbaceous flavour profile. We loved growing this variety and can highly recommend this variety.
