Naranjilla (Solanum quitoense), also known as the “little orange,” is a tropical fruit plant native to the Andes. It produces small, spherical fruits covered in a spiky, green husk, which turn orange when ripe. The fruit has a tangy, citrus-like flavour, often described as a blend of pineapple and lime. Naranjilla is enjoyed fresh, in juices, or as a flavouring in desserts and beverages. The plant is also valued for its attractive foliage and unique appearance.
