This rare pepper is crunchy and juicy with a mix of tropical flavors that are described as citrus and fruity with slightly smoky tones. Biquinho can be eaten raw or cooked, but are generally pickled in vinegar and served with meals. Try these Biquinho peppers which are also called Sweety Drops, in our Pickled Sweety Drop Peppers Recipe. These peppers are quite popular in Brazil, where they originated.

The peppers start as a striking deep purple or black, eventually ripening to a deep red with some purple undertones. They have a teardrop or beak-like shape, typical of the Biquinho family. 

Black Biquinho peppers have a sweet, fruity flavor with a mild heat. They are often described as having a slightly smoky taste when eaten fresh and are popular for pickling due to their flavor and texture. 

The heat is generally low, ranging from 500 to 2,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). 

The plants can grow to be 2 to 2.5 feet tall and have medium spread. The foliage and stems can be dark, adding to the pepper's ornamental appeal. 

Black Biquinho peppers are versatile in the kitchen. They are excellent for pickling, adding to salsas, hot sauces, and marinades, or using as a garnish. They can also be used in soups, stews, and even jams and jellies. 

They are a Brazilian heirloom pepper, belonging to the Capsicum chinense species.

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
