1 / 3
A tiny, teardrop-shaped C. chinense from Minas Gerais, Brazil. The name means 'little beak' in Portuguese. Almost no heat (0–1,000 SHU) — it's essentially a sweet pepper. Traditionally pickled in vinegar and served as a table condiment in Brazil. Comes in red and yellow varieties. Has gained international popularity as an appetizer pepper. Also listed as Biquinho Red. Known in the Goiás/Cerrado region as "chupetinho" (little pacifier), an older regional name. Embrapa Hortaliças recognizes both names as synonymous for the same variety.
