Details
25,000-35,000 SHU. Originating from Brazil, the White Chupetinho pepper, also known as Pimenta de Bico or Chupetinha, humorously translates to "little Rubber Nipple" due to its unique shape. These small peppers start green and mature to a creamy white, growing on high-yielding plants that can produce hundreds of pods per season, making it an excellent choice for those with limited space. Commonly pickled in vinegar in Brazil and served as a garnish or appetizer with drinks, this chili variety is not only visually appealing with its drop-shaped pods but also offers an instant burst of sweet, fruity flavor. Non-Isolated.
