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.
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
This game is so much fun, it's so unique, and it definitely keeps with the cabin fever in winter when we'd rather be out in the garden. Also the quality of it is better than any card or board game I've ever bought. Highly recommend!
Bought these seeds for Christmas and could not wait for spring to start them. They have been growing in my hydroponics now for about a month and with the cut and come again method I've been harvesting for about 2 weeks. The seeds have great germination. Kids and chickens are enjoying them.
I'm not just saying this because I am from the great state of New York, but the New Yorker tomato from MI Gardener is stupendous....It almost over-performed last summer (is that even possible?) I can't wait to get started with them again this year.!!
I used revive Rex last year with excellent outcomes. I wanted you to make sure I have it on had for this gardening season.
Delicious and prolific.I'll plant this on repeat!
