Description
Pequin is a highly underrated chilli, found growing wild in North Mexico / Texas
Mexican/Texan cuisine is known for its heat, in chilli terms most are very low in heat but Pequin is the hardened cowboy of chilli heat
Earthy flavour with huge heat especially for such a tiny chilli
Pequin plants are great producers but the harvesting so labour intensive its not the most widely available chilli
If you want heat though these little pequin devils are up there at 80k-100k or vindaloo heat, so yes hot!
Perfect for any hot dish, especially tex mex, bbq or just seriously hot baked beans aka cowboy style
Hot Heat 80kSHU
