I buy these biquinhos from a Brazilian store here in Australia 🇦🇺 and they’re sold pickled. So good with salads or antipasto. Now trying to grow my own. Multiple varieties of them. Biquinho roxa, and biquinho iracema
here's a picture of them on the plant: i.imgur.com/zOzpACI.jpg They are very fun to have around and snack on in the pepper field. harvesting them is a bit crazy as there are so many! we will have seeds for them later in the year. they are direct from brazil (feltrin sementes) so you are getting the good stuff. thanks for review khang, looking forward to the scotch brain review.
Hi there im from Minas Gerais and I can confirm these are very popular around here. We usually pickle them and use to flavor and garnish many dishes :)
I have 2 plants of Biquinho for the first time this years. It is a really nice looking plants and they taste good but lot of seeds. To grow them, I have bought the seeds from Semences Solana or Solana seeds here in Quebec. I've just tried to canning some this week, will see in a few weeks the result.
IM growing these this year. got seeds from johnny seeds. So far I have at least 50 on the plants and I will be pickling them as the Brazilians do to go along with my pickled jalepenos
I was able to get my hands on the original none crossbreed ones. Boy, did I regret eating one of them!!!! It burned for an hour and I sweating like I was in some Swedish hothouse, not even slightly kidding you!! Not to mention that taking a poo the next day was like wanting to call the fire brigade ASAP. And I'm used to a lot, trust me, I can take a lot of heat when it comes to hot peppers. But that little booger caught me completely off guard, for real. Kept a bunch of the seeds from the rest that I refused to eat. Planted the seeds of one of them today, planting the rest tomorrow!! Let the heat begin! :D :D :D
Nice review Khang. Thanks for sharing all the info about the pepper too. I'm growing something that looks similar but I'm not sure if it's correctly named or not. The seeds were labeled Cheiro Recife, and the fruits look a lot like the Biquinho. Looking online, I've seen about half the folks growing it showing pods like what I have, and other half showing something different. I made a review that I haven't posted yet. I'll try Juanito's Biquinho soon and compare.
Hans Ri on the G+ community is growing a really spicy version of this. He got the seeds from a source that actually got the true seeds from Brazil. The source confirmed that this variety should be hotter. I guess there are many different ones out there. I really love these little things and ate almost all of them already.
So it looks like the pepper lovers google group got shut down a few years ago because google dis-continued Google communities, was it transferred somewhere else like facebook?
yo! khhang got the biquinhos too! i got some special brazilian stuff for you from salvador bahia i will try to send pics now also some things from trinidad and tobago/ Venezuela i got seeds for you!
pronounced Bee-key-nyo just like the "no" on "jalapeno" :D I'm kinda surprise there is a little heat because the breed I'm used to here in Brazil has absolutely no heat at all. I'm looking foward to crossbreed Biquinho peppers in the near future :)
Khang you make me crack up cause for this particular pepper you decided to eat it all and you even ate another. Let's see you do that with the previous pepper. Lol.
hahaha one of these days I really will wimp out for sure! When I did the Black Panther, my eyes were watering and my nose was running. My throat was on fire! I don't know how the other experts eat the entire pod!
