Chupetinho Orange Powder

Chupetinho Orange (Biquinho pepper) powder is the orange-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 Orange 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 bright orange.

How to Sow Chupetinho Orange 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 Orange Powder

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

Tips for Chupetinho Orange Powder

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

Diseases and Pests of Chupetinho Orange 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 Orange Powder

Chupetinho Orange powder suits delicate dishes thanks to its very mild heat and fruity sweetness, with a warm, decorative colour note.

Properties of Chupetinho Orange Powder

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