Why Grow Biquinho Yellow Peppers?
Originating from Brazil, these peppers are a beloved staple, prized for their mild heat (500-1,000 Scoville) and slightly tart flavor. The 24” compact plant is a prolific producer, yielding hundreds of 1-1/4" peppers that transition from pale green to sunny yellow, deepening to orange-red if left to ripen further. Whether you’re a home gardener or a gourmet chef, these peppers add a colorful and flavorful twist to any dish.
How to Grow Biquinho Peppers!
Start your Biquinho Yellow Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant them in sterile soil, cover lightly (1/4” deep), and maintain 85°F bottom heat with bright light. Keep the soil moist, and expect germination in 7-21 days. Once seedlings develop 6 true leaves, transplant them into rich soil (30” apart) or large 5-gallon containers. Harvest the peppers when green for a crisp, tangy flavor or wait for their golden-yellow hue for a sweeter taste.
Versatile Culinary Uses
Enjoy Biquinho peppers fresh in salads, pickled in vinegar as a tangy condiment, or cooked into sauces and stir-fries. Try them pickled for a delightful treat that pairs perfectly with cheeses, meats, and cocktails. Check out our Pickled Sweety Drop recipe and read why even Martha Stewart loves these peppers!
