You may now preorder fresh Biquinho chilies from our Cornish farm, since our UK-grown chillies will soon be in season. These unique, sweet, and mildly flavoured chillies are perfect for pickling, garnishing dishes, or adding a gentle heat to your favourite recipes.
Chillies ripen at different times depending on their heat level and the weather – the sunnier it is, the quicker they mature. Here’s a rough guide to when each type will be ready:
Mild & Medium (including Biquinho) – Available late June/July
Hot – Expected July/August
Superhot – Ready around August/September
To guarantee optimal freshness in a single delivery, we ship all varieties together once everything is ready.

Flavour Profile: Fruity, slightly tangy, and aromatic, with hints reminiscent of habanero but without the intense burn.

Culinary Uses: Popular in fresh salsas, pickling, and salads—especially when you want a pop of color without overpowering spice.
Appearance: Plump, conical pods about 5–7 cm long, with smooth skin and a glossy finish.
It’s a great choice if you want a pepper that’s visually striking, flavorful, and family-friendly in terms of heat.

Origin: Native to the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico and the Caribbean, where warm climates allow it to grow as a perennial plant.
Appearance: Vibrant orange skin, smooth and glossy, usually 2–6 cm long.

Padrón peppers are small, green Spanish chilli peppers, typically about 5 cm (2 in) long with a slightly wrinkled, elongated shape. They’re most often harvested while still unripe and green, giving them a mild, slightly grassy flavour with a hint of nuttiness when cooked.
Their charm lies in the “pepper lottery” — while most are mild, a few can surprise you with noticeable heat. On the Scoville scale, they range from 500 to 2,500 SHU, meaning most are about as mild as a banana pepper, but the hotter ones can approach the lower end of a jalapeño’s heat. With this years heat waves, the plants have suffered some ‘heat stress’ and our Padron Peppers seem to be generally more spicier than usual.
They’re traditionally pan-fried in olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt, making them a popular Spanish tapas dish.

A tomatillo is a small, tart, husk-covered fruit from the Physalis philadelphica plant, widely used in Mexican cooking—especially in salsa verde. It looks like a green tomato wrapped in a papery lantern-like husk, but it’s not a tomato and isn’t interchangeable with one.
Tomatillos are known for their tangy, citrusy, slightly sour flavour.

The Hot Chocolate habanero is a very hot chilli pepper with a rich brown colour, smoky flavour, and intense heat ranging from 300,000 to 577,000 Scoville Heat Units.
It gets its name from its deep chocolate-brown pod, not because it tastes like chocolate, though it is famously paired with cocoa in spicy treats and hot chocolate.
Flavour Notes: Deep, smoky, earthy, and rich with a slow-building heat.
