Annual500-1,000 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.
My peppers are starting to grow!
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.
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
Really great germination, I am currently growing them in my hydroponic system.
