When it has reached its full maturity, the biquinho chilli takes on a yellow colour with a shape that is distinctive, resembling a comma or a raindrop. The Biquinho Yellow Chilli is a landrace variety of the Capsicum chinense species that was developed in South America and has a distinctive appearance. This plant is known as a "Landrace," which indicates that it has been grown in a particular area for an extended period of time, allowing it to become accustomed to the environmental conditions of that area. The Biquinho Yellow Chilli, which is indigenous to Brazil, has become an essential component of the traditional cuisine of that country.

The word "biquinho" comes from the Portuguese language and literally translates to "little beak." This gives an accurate description of the shape of the pod, which resembles the beak of a small bird when it is placed among the foliage of the plant. There are a few different names for the Biquinho Yellow Chilli, including chupetinho, pimenta de bico, and pimenta biquinho. The peppers are small enough to bite into, and they have a distinct smokiness in addition to a delicious and melon-like sweetness. It is a regular habit to consume these chilies pickled, and their level of heat is typically relatively muted, particularly for a variation of Capsicum chinense.
