{"product_id":"hot-pepper-biquinho-red","title":"Hot Pepper, 'Biquinho Red'","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eCapsicum chinense\u003c\/em\u003e) We are firmly on the Biquinho bandwagon. This little pepper from Brazil packs a lot of flavor into a little package. Marble-sized fruits with a pointed blossom end (biquinho is Portuguese for “little beak”) have all the tropical fruity flavor of the \u003cem\u003echinense\u003c\/em\u003e peppers (habanero family) but with barely a suggestion of heat. Traditionally, mixed yellow and red peppers are pickled in a lightly sweetened 50\/50 vinegar and cachaça (a sugarcane-based liquor) brine, which makes for delicious snacking or additions to hors d’oeuvres\/cheese plates. Sturdy, upright, and heavily branched 2’ plants with abundant sets of hanging fruit have a very attractive plant architecture that lends itself well to container growing. Prolific and early for a tropical pepper.
