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.

From the moment the cute seed box arrives at your door, until the seedling pop up to say hello...they never disappoint. I've purchased a few different boxes of seeds and know they'll not be my last! Thank you 🐞🌸
I already have baby craspedia seedlings and can't wait to see them grow. I bought a couple of craspedia plants last year and they produce the most lovely yellow pom poms. They look great dotted in three's around the house and I also use them when I make dried wreaths.
This was gifted to my mum for her birthday and she loves it. You've got everything you need for flower pressing, including all instructions.
Nicely packaged and fast delivery
One of our favourites in the range. Balanced subtle tones, good burn time and will definitely buy again. Matt

I am happy to give a 5 star review for Bishy Barnabee’s Cottage Garden Flower and Herb Box.
I loved receiving the beautiful package of seeds, with some dried flowers enclosed and not an ounce of plastic in sight!
All thoughtfully eco friendly wrapped.
The delivery was super quick and I’m working my way through sewing the seeds, on the monthly instructions contained on each packet.
I think any of the seed boxes would make a beautiful gift or why not treat yourself!
I’ll certainly be buying more as I expand my cut flower garden 🌸🐞
