Rocotos

Rocoto peppers (Capsicum pubescens) are chili peppers native to the Andean region of South America, especially known for their intense spiciness, excellent flavor, and unique characteristics. Unlike many other chili varieties, they have dark seeds, violet flowers, and robust plants with slightly hairy leaves. Their fruits are usually round or elongated, with thick, juicy walls, and can be found in red, yellow, orange, and other colors.
