Chilli Buquinho Red on wooden bench
Biquinho Red is a beautifully mild chilli with a distinctive teardrop shape and sweet, aromatic flavour. With almost no heat, it’s grown for taste rather than spice and is traditionally used fresh, pickled, or stuffed. Compact plants are highly productive and ideal for containers, making this a great choice for beginners or anyone wanting flavour without fire.
 
Scoville Heat Rating: 500 – 1,000 SHU — more flavour than burn, often used fresh or pickled

    We make every effort to provide British seeds where possible, but in some cases our British Growers are unable to grow in sufficient quantities to meet our demand or the seeds are subject to Plant breeders' rights which means it is only possible for us to buy these seeds from certain non UK sources.
