The Biquinho Pepper, also known as "Little Beak" due to its teardrop shape with a pointed tip, is a Brazilian heirloom treasure that has gained global popularity. This small, glossy red pepper offers a mild, fruity, and slightly tangy flavor, making it an excellent choice for pickling, garnishing, and snacking. Despite its chili-like appearance, it has little to no heat, making it accessible for any palate.
