Add a touch of charm and flavor to your garden with Biquinho Red Peppers, a Brazilian heirloom variety known for its unique shape and delightful taste. These small, bright red peppers resemble inverted teardrops with a little pointed "beak," measuring about 1 inch in size. With mild heat levels of 500–1,000 Scoville Heat Units, they bring a subtle kick that's perfect for enhancing your favorite dishes.
Biquinho Red Peppers boast a smoky flavor with fruity undertones, making them ideal for pickling, garnishing, or adding a twist of spice to salads, sauces, and cooked meals. Highly versatile, they can be enjoyed raw or cooked. This high-yielding variety thrives in garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses, maturing in 90–95 days from transplant. Start seeds indoors in warm soil (80–85°F), since chinense peppers are slow to sprout. Easy to grow and packed with flavor, Biquinho Red Peppers are a must-have for gardeners and food enthusiasts alike.
