Pepper, Chili de Manzano

Open Pollinated

The manzano pepper is an apple-shaped hot chili with a distinctively fruity, citrusy flavor, the perfect chili for making hot sauces and salsa. It originates from Mexican and South America.

The Manzano pepper is a medium-hot chili, falling somewhere in the 10,000-30,000 Scoville Heat Units range on the Scoville Scale. Compare this to the popular jalapeno pepper and the manzano can reach up to 6 times hotter than the average jalapeno.

They definitely have a nice kick.
