🖤 Black Biquinho Pepper

Capsicum chinense

Exotic, eye-catching, and delicious — the Black Biquinho Pepper (a rare variation of Brazil’s famous “Little Beak” pepper) is as ornamental as it is tasty. Compact plants explode with dozens of glossy, jet-black tear-drop shaped pods that eventually ripen to a deep garnet red ❤️. Sweet, smoky, and mildly spicy, these peppers are perfect for culinary creativity.
