Yellow Biquinho Pepper

Cheerful, little yellow peppers have a very mild heat with a citrusy tang followed by a smoky sweetness. Pop one of these thin skinned beauties in your mouth and eat the whole thing, seeds and all. The heat is very mild, more of a suggestion.  In Brazil, their place of origin, they are made into a popular pickle that is often served with olives and nuts. Cook them fresh or dry for winter use. Great on pizza. Named for the beaked, pointed tip, biquinho means ‘little beak’. Perfect for container growing as the plants top out at 45-50cm and produce hundreds of fruit.
