In a response to my posting jsmillie@protix.com (Jonathan T. Smillie) wrote...

"Just a quick question- I've not heard of Manzana chiles before, but you
refer to the seeds as being black. The only variety I have run across that
sports black seeds is the rocoto, Capsicum pubescens. Is "manzana" another
name for a rocoto, or is it a different variety of pubescens? "

Yes, Jonathan the Manzana is the rocoto...and peron and caballo too. I think
the manzana name is a trademark or locale. I am not as up on the scientific
names as I should be, but I am confident you are correct there also. If the
manzana is not available in your area a good substitute with a similar
flavor/heat would be the smaller yellow Peruvian pepper because of the
"fruity" taste and moderate heat. Use 10 instead of 8 to compensate for the
size difference.
