(approx. 400 SHU)

Description

Capsicum chinense

A habanero with a difference, Biquinho Yellow’s teardrop-shaped fruit ripen to a bright yellow and measure only 1.2 x 2cm. They are full-flavoured, crunchy-textured and almost heatless – the ideal snack for eating fresh. They can also be  added to soups and stews, made into very mild sauces, and pickled whole.

The medium tall, bushy plants can be grown in 1 to 2 litre pots and kept on a windowsill. Alternatively, raise them in the ground or bigger pots up to 10 litres in volume – both plant size and yields will increase. Whatever method you choose, you should provide support to prevent the plants from falling over.

Heat level: very mild (approx. 400 SHU)
