A diamond marks the midpoint of a listed range, or the listed value when only one number is given. An arrow marks a stated limit. These are variety guides, not measurements of our seed lot. This guide uses unequal numerical bands: sweet 0; mild up to 10,000; medium 10,000–50,000; hot 50,000–800,000; super hot from 800,000 SHU (display capped at 3 million). Heat varies between fruits and with growing conditions.
No numeric marker is shown without a sufficiently clear range. For bundles, the highlighted categories refer to the different varieties.

Start indoors 10-12 weeks before transplanting. Grow in the warmest protected site available; containers, black pots, low tunnels, or greenhouse culture help chinense peppers finish in short Canadian seasons.
CASA VERDE · GROWER’S NOTES
Biquinho White is for cooks who want the charm of tiny beak-shaped Brazilian peppers with gentle heat, pale cream colour, and a bright snack-pickle personality that works by the handful.
Grow Biquinho White when your kitchen wants a pepper that is more condiment than dare. The small pointed pods are made for pickling whole, scattering over salads, spooning onto cheese boards, folding into salsa, or using as a mild bright garnish anywhere a hotter chile would take over.
Building a pepper patch around actual cooking? Compare Biquinho White with other mild, pickling, and sauce peppers in the Casa Verde catalogue.
It is listed as mild. Expect a gentle pepper warmth rather than jalapeno heat, which is why it works well by the handful in pickles and salsa.
The pods are bright, lightly fruity, and clean, with enough pepper character to season food without dominating it.
Whole-pod pickles are the classic move, but Biquinho White is also excellent in salsa, relish, marinades, beans, salads, and garnish work.
Yes, but start early indoors and grow warm. Like many chinense peppers, it benefits from a long runway, strong light, and a protected warm site.
