A tasty aromatic variety, with relatively small fruits that ripen orange. The variety is also very productive in cold autumn.
Rocoto is the common name of all chillies belonging to the main group Capsicum pubescens; they are characterized by perenniality and were probably bred in South America more than 8000 years ago. In the Andes, these chillies grow in the high mountains, where the shrub-like plants reach a height of 2 m and more. The leaves are light to dark green and - in contrast to the chillies of the other main groups - clearly hairy. The flowers are violet.
This variety was first cultivated in Finland and ripens from green to orange. Since it is not quite so hot, it is also suitable for fresh consumption or for smoking.
