Manzano Orange Pepper Seeds

Straight out of Central and South America comes this unique and flavorful hot pepper. The Manzano Orange Pepper is sweet but with a nice kick! Manzano means apple in Spanish and when you see them you’ll understand why.

The chili plant itself resembles an apple tree and produces 1-2" peppers that, wait for it…look and even kinda feel like apples. If protected from frost, the Manzano Plant can grow up to ten to fifteen feet long. This orange variety of the Manzano Pepper ripens from green to a warm orange, has furry leaves, and black (yes, black!) seeds. The Manzano Pepper Plant is resistant to low temperatures, adapting well to 45-60 degrees Fahrenheit and performs well in partial shade.

These beauties are sweet, tangy, and oh-so juicy but with some heat that builds slowly. You can do just about anything with these amazing hot peppers – stuff ‘em, make a sauce or paste, or just snack on them raw. Whatever you do, we know you’re going to love them!
