Manzano Orange Rocoto: The Black Seeds of the Andes

The Manzano Orange Aji Rocoto is a traditional South American variety of the Capsicum pubescens species, highly valued for its intense flavor, thick flesh, and characteristic heat. It is a pepper unlike most others, both in appearance and cultivation behavior.

The fruits ripen to a vibrant orange color, have a rounded shape and thick walls, making them ideal for more versatile culinary uses than super-hot peppers.

It is a high-altitude, cold-resistant species that adapts well to cooler climates, developing a type of fur on its stems and leaves to withstand cold and frost.

Strong Heat and Fruity, Slightly Vinegary Flavor.

The heat level of the Orange Aji Rocoto is strong but balanced, providing deep and persistent warmth. It features a fruity, fresh, and intense flavor with striking vegetable notes.

Commonly used in Andean cuisine, it is perfect for:

  • Hot sauces and fresh salsas
  • Stuffing (like the classic rocoto relleno)
  • Grilled or roasted dishes

As with all Capsicum pubescens, the plant has hairy leaves, purple flowers, and black seeds.
