Pepper 'Rocotillo' / 'Spinning Tops' / 'Red Squash' / 'Ají Du'

  • Product number: 209350
  • Origin: America
  • Latin: Capsicum chinense

A moderately hot (slightly sweet) pepper with an elegant fruit shape, resembling a bell or a flying saucer! Great for cooking whole and then garnishing the meal. Enthusiasts who can handle the heat will then simply eat them; they resemble Habanero (= Ajoema) peppers, but are much less hot!

Names:
Latin: Capsicum chinense
Dutch: Peper
Also known as: Ajoema, Habanero
