I grow Rocoto peppers. They are from Peru and such a great plant. I live in the Bay Area and we are blessed with an incredible Mediterranean climate so if I protect my plant from frost (like last night) my plant can live up to 12 years or so. I usually get two to three crops a year. I ferment them and make hot sauce and I dehydrate them after fermenting them and make chili powder from them in my grinder. there are red ones like I grow and yellow ones. Yum yum yum!
