Biquinho Red Pepper Seeds – About the Biquinho Red Pepper

A favorite from Brazil, the Biquinho Red pepper, also known as Sweety Drop or Little Beak, is a small, tear-shaped chili prized for its tropical sweetness and gentle warmth. The name “Biquinho” literally means little beak, a nod to its distinctive pointed tail.

This heirloom snacking pepper has become popular worldwide for its bold color, mild flavor, and ornamental charm. Also offered at Pepper Joe’s in Yellow or White pepper seeds, & in White Biquinho Live Pepper Plants each season. 

Plant Characteristics

The Red Biquinho plant grows into a compact, bushy, and heavily branched 2-foot plant, producing dozens of small, glossy peppers that ripen from green to bright red.
Its size makes it ideal for containers, raised beds, and patio gardens, where it adds a vibrant pop of color and reliable yields all season long.

️ Flavor & Culinary Uses

Expect a tropical, fruity flavor with light tartness and a touch of heat, just enough to make these peppers fun and versatile. They’re delicious when:

• Pickled in vinegar or brine

• Served as cocktail garnishes or antipasto appetizers

• Added to salads, pizzas, or charcuterie boards

• Enjoyed straight from the garden for a refreshing snack

Fun fact: When pickled, these peppers are sold in gourmet markets as “Sweety Drops.” In Brazil and Peru, they’re affectionately called “Chupetinho.”
