Biquinho Yellow Piquillo Pepper

I am planting these this year. Shipping time was decent as usual. Germination rate was 100% for me so far. Off to a great start.

Big flavor for a small pepper. Flavor like a hot pepper but mild. They are very full of seeds if you mind that in a pepper.

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.
