Biquinho Pepper Plant Start

The Biquinho Pepper, also known as “Little Beak” due to its teardrop shape with a pointed tip, is a Brazilian heirloom treasure that has gained global popularity. This small, glossy red pepper offers a mild, fruity, and slightly tangy flavor, making it an excellent choice for pickling, garnishing, and snacking. Despite its chili-like appearance, it has little to no heat, making it accessible for any palate.

All plant starts are grown in OASIS® 1.5″ x 1.5″ grow cubes until they reach approximately 4″ to 6″ in height. Plants are only stocked and made available for shipping once both the plant and root system are strong enough to withstand transit.
