Biquinho Red Hot Pepper - Heirloom 10 seeds

Biquinho (Capsicum chinense) also known as Chupetinho, Pimenta de Bico or Chupetinha. Hailing from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, Pimenta Biquinho peppers are round and little with a distinctive, tapered point or tail that resembles a birds beak. They can be either a brilliant scarlet-red or sunshine-yellow.

A beautiful looking plant with heaps of drop shaped “little beak” pepper pods makes a great ornamental plant. The plant grows to about 20 inches tall in a pot with pepper filled cascading branches.

TASTE: A mild heat level. Sweet and fruity with a habanero like flavor.

CULINARY USE: The most common way that piquinho peppers are eaten in Brazil is when they’ve been pickled in a vinegar solution and served as a garnish or as an appetizer with drinks.
