105 days. Capsicum annuum. Open Pollinated. Pequin Pepper. The plant produces good yields of ½" long by ¼" wide hot Bird peppers. This popular hot pepper variety is highly valued in Mexican cuisine. These tiny, fiery-hot peppers turn from green to orange-red to red as they mature. They have a citrusy, nutty, smoky flavor with a fruity note. Heat builds and can linger rather than hitting all at once. The plant has green stems, green leaves, and white flowers. Great for salsas, hot sauces (notably listed in Cholula), pickling, soups, stews, vinegars, oils, flakes, and powder. The name comes from the Spanish pequeño (small). Excellent choice for home gardens. A rare variety from Mexico and the Southwestern USA.
