breeding rocoto cross section

[kilobit]

For this evenings dinner I thinly sliced a red rocoto.
When put on my plate I noticed the peculiar inner rim.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Yep. They're bubbly inside not unlike a bell pepper. Great shot!

Yeah I've seen this before....It's a common thing. This is what makes the rocoto very juicy inside as these "bubbles" hold liquid....

FYI, Rocotos are great for stuffing, as well as making Releno.

Great pic, I've cut open a ton of them before and never noticed that. I have to start paying attention!

Awesome pic! I'm going to have to look for that in my Rocotos this year!

Looks like a tomato to me.

Nice macro. I hope I'll get to sample my first rocoto next season.
