Description/Taste

Red biquinho chile peppers are very small, tear-drop shaped pods, averaging three centimeters in length, and have a curved center that tapers into an elongated, pointed tip. The skin ripens from pale green to bright red when mature and is glossy and smooth, connected to a slender and curved, dark green stem. Underneath the skin, the medium to thick flesh is red, crisp, and aqueous, encasing a very small cavity filled with round and flat, cream-colored seeds. Red biquinho chile peppers are very crunchy and juicy with an initially tangy, citrus taste followed by a sweet, fruity, and slightly smoky flavor reminiscent of habanero peppers. The peppers also contain mild heat that fluctuates in intensity depending on the climate, soil, and environment the pod is grown in.
 
The name biquinho translates to mean “little beak,” which is derived from the pepper's similarity in appearance to a small pointed bird’s beak, and the small peppers are popularly pickled and served as a bite-sized snack.
