Brown Rocoto

Species: Capsicum pubescens | Origin: Peru | Pungency: Medium

Brown Rocoto is a late variety that was discovered by Swedish gardening book author Åke Truedsson whilst at an Andean market in Cusco, Peru. The plants have a large spreading growth habit and produce average yields of medium-large-sized, thick-walled, juicy, oval-shaped peppers which start lime green and ripen to chocolate brown. It is well suited to cooler climates and performs very well outdoors here in North Wales during the growing season. Brown Rocoto peppers are great for spicing up many types of food, such as stews, soups, salsas, sauces, stir fries, rice dishes, pasta dishes and casseroles.
