NotesProduct Details
Believed to have first been cultivated in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, these peppers have fruits averaging a little less than 1" in length, and a sweet, tangy, smoky flavor with a little heat (about 500-1,000 SHU).

Also known as “Little Beak Peppers, (biquinho in Portuguese translates to "little beak"), “Sweety Drops,” or “Little Kiss,” and commonly called “Chupetinho” by Brazilians.

The fruits are shaped like marbles with pointy ends, and ripen from green to red. The little peppers dangle on sturdy, upright plants that are prolific.

Great eaten raw, cooked, or added to cheese plates and salads. In Brazil, they are pickled in a mixture of vinegar, garlic, herbs, and a Brazilian liquor called cachaça and served as an appetizer or snack at bars and restaurants.

Maturity: Approx. 90 days
