“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 inch peppers that, wait for it…look and even kinda feel like apples.  This orange variety of the Manzano Pepper ripens from green to a warm orange, has furry leaves, and black (yes, black!) seeds.  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.”  Text and picture from Pepper Joe’s.
