Description

A variety native to Brazil, renowned for its small, drop-shaped or beak-shaped fruits (hence the name “biquinho”). Bright red when ripe, it has almost no heat, but offers a fruity, sweet, and slightly vinegary flavor that is absolutely unique. It is perfect pickled, in a mild sauce, or simply for snacking. Highly productive, decorative, and easy to grow, this pepper attracts both curious and gourmets.
