Chupetinho White Powder

Chupetinho White (Biquinho pepper) powder is the cream-white ripening variant of this Brazilian pepper, prized for its sweet, mildly hot flavour. It's made by drying the small beak-shaped pods and grinding them fine.

The Chupetinho White Powder Plant

The Capsicum chinense plant has a compact habit and produces numerous small drop-shaped pods with a beak-like tip, ripening to a creamy white.

How to Sow Chupetinho White Powder

Seeds for pod production are started indoors from February to March, transplanting once night temperatures stay reliably above 15°C.

How to Grow Chupetinho White Powder

Growing requires full sun, well-drained soil and regular watering, with potassium-rich feeding during fruiting.

Tips for Chupetinho White Powder

Pods should be picked at full ripeness and dried slowly to preserve their pale colour and sweet-fruity aroma, then ground only once fully dry.

Diseases and Pests of Chupetinho White Powder

Like other Capsicum chinense varieties it can be affected by aphids, spider mites and root rot from excess watering; good drainage greatly reduces these risks.

Uses and Curiosities of Chupetinho White Powder

Chupetinho White powder suits delicate dishes thanks to its very mild heat and fruity sweetness, with a lighter colour compared to red variants.

Properties of Chupetinho White Powder

It contains moderate capsaicin, with digestive properties and vitamin C preserved through drying.
