Perfect for Growing Peruvian Flavors

This kit focuses on ingredients commonly used in Peruvian cuisine. Rocoto (Capsicum pubescens) is one of Peru’s most iconic peppers, known for its round shape—similar to a small bell pepper—thick walls, and bold heat.

It is especially famous for dishes like rocoto relleno, where its rich flavor and texture truly stand out. Rocoto is also unique for its distinctive black seeds, a rare characteristic among peppers.

Alongside it, herbs like cilantro, basil, and parsley help recreate the aromatic base of traditional Peruvian cooking.

Growing these plants together allows you to begin building your own Peruvian kitchen garden.

Growing Notes (Important)

Rocoto grows differently than most peppers:

• Prefers cooler temperatures compared to other chiles
• Can take longer to germinate and mature
• Benefits from starting indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost
• Thrives with steady warmth but not extreme heat

With patience, rocoto plants can become very productive and even perennial in the right conditions.

These kits are prepared in very small batches and are only available in limited quantities this month. Once they sell out, they will not be restocked this season.
