Biquinho chilli has a unique shape resembling a raindrop or a comma and ripens to a creamy yellow when fully mature.  The Biquinho Yellow Chilli is a Capsicum chinense landrace hailing from South America with a unique look. This plant is a 'Landrace', meaning it has been cultivated in a specific region for a prolonged period, enabling it to acclimate to the local conditions. - native to Brazil, Biquinho Yellow Chilli has become an integral part of the country's cultural cuisine.

The name "biquinho" originates from Portuguese and translates to "little beak," aptly describing the shape of the pod, which resembles the beak of a small bird amidst the plant's foliage.  The Biquinho Yellow Chilli is also referred to as chupetinho, pimenta de bico or pimenta biquinho.  The bite-size peppers have a fruity, melony sweetness and distinctive smokiness.  It is a common practice to consume these chillies pickled, and their heat level is generally quite subdued, especially for a Capsicum chinense variety.
