Piquillo Pepper Seeds

A rare heirloom variety from Northern Spain, the Piquillo pepper means "little beak" in Spanish, used to describe this pepper's shape.

Grow these pepper plants in your garden and watch the sprout to 3 ft. tall, producing many of these 2-1/2" long pods that are smooth, shiny, and taper off to a point. You'll want to harvest these peppers when they turn red for the best flavor, as these peppers ripen from green to their final red color.

The Piquillo pepper is a tangy red pod that provides a smoky, sweet flavor and lightly simmering heat. There are several ways to incorporate Piquillo Peppers. You can fry, roast, or leave it raw, but roasted Piquillo peppers offer sweetness and flavor to many meals. The peppers have a type of firmness that is perfect for stuffing them into your meals because they have that nice crunch. Pick up some of these pepper seeds today!
