Mini Rocoto Brown

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

Mini Rocoto Brown is a smaller growing variety that its red and yellow counterparts and is one of only a few Capsicum pubescens varieties I've grown that will set fruit indoors. The plants have a compact spreading growth habit and produce very good yields of thick-walled, juicy peppers which start green and ripen to deep chocolate brown. The peppers are almost spherical in shape and range in size from that of a cherry tomato to that of an average-sized date. Mini Rocoto Brown peppers are great for spicing up many types of food, such as stews, soups, salsas, sauces, stir fries, rice dishes, pasta dishes and casseroles. This variety performs very well outdoors here in North Wales during the growing season.
