Description:
The Biquinho White Pepper is a beautiful little pepper with several unique nicknames. It is also known as "Little Beak Peppers", "Sweaty Drops", or "Little Kiss". The word biquinho is a Portuguese word that translates to little beak.
Like the Biquinho Red pepper, the Biquinho White is quite popular in Brazil and Peru, and it is commonly called “Chupetinho” by the locals there. It is shaped like a reverse tear drop and grows to about 1" in size. The pods start as green and ripen to pearl white or yellowish white. If your looking for a plant that produces handfuls of peppers, this is the one for you. These plants grow to about 2-3 feet tall and produce an enormous amount of fruits. It's very possible to get hundred of pods in a single growing season. Wow!
These peppers have an intense habanero-like fruity flavor. The heat of the Biquinho White pepper is compared to a little kiss of heat. The mild heat adds a delightful touch to many dishes. They are delicious when fresh, pickled, added to salads, added to salsas, and more!
