PEQUIN PEPPER - TASTE TEST & REVIEW

This tiny pepper certainly packs a punch. Straight out of Mexico, I brought these back from a recent trip. When you can pick up hundreds of these tiny peppers for roughly one cent each, it's a great deal in my opinion.

A common pepper across the southern United States and northern Mexico, it weighs in at up to about 60,000 SHU which puts it in the area of Cayenne Peppers, and more than twice as hot as a Serrano. These tiny peppers are commonly eaten by birds and can be found growing in the wild as well, partially due to the assistance of the birds.

Although these peppers can be grown as an annual in any garden, in areas where the temperatures remain above freezing in the winter, they will continue to grow for years, and I've seen some amazing little bushes. Enjoy the video!
