Look what we have here. Mini Pimentos!, these are going to be used for festive garnishes. The red color suits everything from Valentines to Christmas to New Years. I am so excited to get my hands on these Brazilian imported pepper seeds. Already started in little trays, sitting on a heat mat, my "Little Beaks", or "Little Kiss" pepper....yay!
From the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, Pimenta De Bico peppers are mildly hot, small, round and either a brilliant scarlet-red or sunshine-yellow, with a small beak-shaped protuberance hanging from the end. The plant makes a beautiful ornamental plant, and many of these plants grace Brazilian gardens and yards.The incredible rich flavorful small of these chilies are perfect served as a garnish or as an appetizer with drinks or can be used to perk up almost any soup, stew or braised dish.
I was purchasing pimento at the store the other day and wondered if I could grow it myself. These look so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe shape is exactly like Hershey Kisses hehe...
ReplyDeleteThese may be the most adorable peppers I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! I think I might just have to get some of these. And those cheese appetizers in the picture look delicious!
ReplyDeleteHolleyGarden - I don't see why not. If they are heirlooms you get the same result. If they are hybrids you may raise something completely new :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that!
Thanks for the comments all. The cheese cubes make me hungry every time I look at them :)
Grateful for sharing thhis
