Manzano Orange Chilli Originally from Mexico and now widely grown across South America, the Manzano Orange is a distinctive member of the Capsicum pubescens family. Known as Locoto in Bolivia and Rocoto in Peru, its name “Manzano” (meaning apple) reflects both the apple-like appearance and texture of its pods. With thick walls, hairy leaves, and black seeds, it stands out for its cold tolerance and unique flavour—making it a favourite among chilli enthusiasts.
