Pequin Pepper (Capsicum Annuum)
A wild bushy variety originating from the state of Tabasco in southeastern Mexico, the Pequin pepper is a very small, slightly elongated red pepper. 5-8 times stronger than Jalapeno, it sits at around 50-70,000 Scoville units. They are therefore very spicy and have a sweet and fruity note, ideal pepper for people accustomed to spices and who are looking for ever more intense flavors! In sauce, in salsa or dried and ground, they will accompany many dishes.Rare and sometimes confused with its round cousin, the tepin pepper...Our Pequin pepper seeds have been isolated under greenhouse and fine mesh in our farm.
