The Black Biquinho pepper is a rare and eye-catching ornamental pepper that combines incredible beauty with a mild, fruity flavor. A unique variation of the traditional Brazilian Biquinho, this variety produces distinctive teardrop-shaped pods that ripen through deep shades of purple and black before developing rich red highlights at full maturity. The dark foliage and colorful fruit create a striking display in the garden or in decorative containers.
With a mild heat level of approximately 500 to 1,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the Black Biquinho offers a sweet, slightly smoky flavor with subtle fruity notes and just enough spice to make it enjoyable for nearly everyone. Its gentle heat makes it an excellent choice for fresh snacking, pickling, salads, salsas, charcuterie boards, and garnishes where both flavor and appearance stand out.
The compact, highly productive plants are easy to grow and continuously set dozens of small, uniquely shaped peppers throughout the season. Their ornamental appeal makes them a favorite for patio containers and landscape borders, while their delicious flavor ensures they're just as useful in the kitchen as they are beautiful in the garden.
