The Pequin pepper, also known as Turkey Pepper, Chilipiquin, and even Cayenne in some places, is a small pointed fireball, that somewhat resembles a small Thai pepper. It's similar (and often confused with) Chiltepin peppers in that they originated in Mexico and are often found growing in the wild there and in Southern Texas. The Chile Pequin plant will grow to about 4 feet tall and are highly productive. These 3/4" bulbs ripen from green to a bright red or red-orange color when mature. You'll notice some of these pods have a smooth texture while others may look slightly wrinkly. NOTE: Some Pequin seeds can take anywhere from 2 weeks to over 1 month to germinate. Take it from us, this pepper is well worth the wait! This attractive Tabasco-type pepper has a slender, slightly twisted shape, and you will find that they are grown for their ornamental value or to flavor spicy dishes. It's even listed as an ingredient in Cholula Hot Sauce. Just don’t let the size fool you…it is HOT! The flavor of a Pequin pepper is relatively citrusy and nutty. These peppers work great in soups, salsas, and other sauces! We recommend you try your hand at pickling them! You won't be disappointed. Love exotic peppers?
