Chupetinho Big Peach Powder

Chupetinho Big Peach (Biquinho pepper) powder comes from a larger-podded, peach-coloured selection of this Brazilian pepper, prized for its sweet, mildly hot flavour. It's made by drying ripe pods and grinding them fine.

The Chupetinho Big Peach Powder Plant

The Capsicum chinense plant has a compact habit and produces drop-shaped pods with a beak-like tip, larger than the standard variety, ripening to a pink-peach colour.

How to Sow Chupetinho Big Peach 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 Big Peach Powder

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

Tips for Chupetinho Big Peach Powder

The larger-than-average pods should be picked at full ripeness and dried slowly to preserve their colour and sweet-fruity aroma, then ground only once fully dry.

Diseases and Pests of Chupetinho Big Peach 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 Big Peach Powder

Chupetinho Big Peach powder suits delicate dishes thanks to its very mild heat and a more intense fruity sweetness typical of large-podded varieties.

Properties of Chupetinho Big Peach Powder

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