500-1,000 SHU. Native to Brazil, these small, brightly colored, pointed fruits have a tart flavor with slight smokey heat. It can be eaten raw or cooked but usually is pickled to bring out its flavor's tanginess. Nicknamed the "Little Beak" pepper because of its unique shape.
Biquinhos are one of my favorite peppers.
I'd say they are easy to grow, but I do find the chinense family like a little more heat and time to germinate than other peppers. I have however grown them successfully in hydroponics, raised beds, and this year in 3 gallon grow bags inside a kiddy pool holding a shallow layer of nutrient water. Picking can also get tedious as they fruit are blueberry ish in size.
The flavor reminds me of atomic fireballs (candy) - all the heat is up front, and there really isn't all that much. I do think red biquinhos are slightly sweeter though.
An absolute favorite variety for their mild, smoky flavor and beautiful color! These little peppers are fun to grow and produce very well.
These are great little peppers.
The red Biquinho pepper has a beautiful smokey taste for seasoning. Yellow just brings a bit more heat.
Have always had solid germination with MI Gardner pepper seeds however this variety showed poor germination only 1 of 10 seeds germinated making it 10% germination

First time ever growing chia . 2 out of the 3 came up. Still little seedlings so far so good.
I love these seed trays! Super sturdy!
Excellent choices of varieties, all of which grow great in my area. I can't wait to winter sow them in a month or two. From past experience I have complete confidence that they will germinate and produce. Thanks, MIGardener!
Fun way to get new interesting varieties in the garden, I love the grab bags! My sister and I have purchased these for the last few years and we make a big deal about the big reveal. We video-call each delivery (we both purchase more than one set) and play some sort of game or announcement of each packet . It’s the highlight of fall and helps us get over the end of gardening season blues!
The taste of this tomato is super sweet. I made pico de gallo and it was a treat. I got a one pound tomato in my grow bag.
