Understanding the heat
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.
A Scoville range has not been listed for this variety.

Not a completely heatless pack. Biquinho and Aji Cachucha are classified Mild in our catalogue. If your dish must have no piquant heat, choose one of the heatless varieties and check its individual notes.
Why grow this pack?
Give each pepper a place in your kitchen: Nadapeno for jalapeno-shaped bites, Hungarian Cheese for stuffing, Biquinho for pickles, and Habanada or Aji Cachucha for aromatic sauces and seasoning.
The five packets included
- Habanada — Heatless habanero-style aroma for salsa and sauces.
- Nadapeno — A heatless jalapeno-shaped pepper for stuffed bites and chopped salsa.
- Sweet Drop Biquinho — Small, mildly hot peppers for pickles and garnishes.
- Hungarian Cheese — Sweet, round peppers for stuffing and roasting.
- Aji Cachucha — Aromatic seasoning peppers for sofrito, beans and rice; mild warmth is possible.
In the kitchen
- Pickle Biquinho using a refrigerator-pickle recipe.
- Stuff Nadapeno or Hungarian Cheese with a filling that suits the fruit’s size.
- Chop Habanada or Aji Cachucha into sauces, rice dishes and sofrito.
In the garden
- Sow each variety separately indoors and label the seedlings.
- Plan sowing around your local transplant date; transplant after frost risk has passed and nights are reliably warm.
- Follow each variety’s packet and product page for spacing and maturity. The five varieties will not necessarily ripen together.

Pepper seeds CanadaSweet and mild pepper seedsWhat will I receive?
Five seed packets: Habanada, Nadapeno, Sweet Drop Biquinho, Hungarian Cheese and Aji Cachucha. These are seeds to grow, not fresh peppers or plants.
Can I grow all five in the same season?
Plan for their different growing times and your local conditions. Check the individual growing notes before choosing sowing dates.
Keep the varieties labelled from sowing through harvest so you can select the flavour and heat suited to each dish.
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Germinate at 26–30 °C on a heat mat; peppers stall below 22 °C. Pot up to 10–15 cm before hardening off outside after nights stay above 12 °C.
Feed balanced through bloom, then bump potassium for fruiting. Stake taller varieties. More detail in our full Canadian growing guide.
Match the pepper to the technique: thin-walled varieties blister fast in a hot pan; thick-walled ones roast or stuff beautifully; fruit-forward ones make balanced sauces and pickles. The variety's flavour profile is your shortcut — see Choosing the right pepper for a use-case guide.
