A fiery chili pepper cultivar known as the pequin (or piqun) pepper is frequently used as a spice. Pequin peppers are extremely hot, frequently 5-8 times hotter on the Scoville scale than jalapenos (30,000 to 60,000 Units). It has a fruity and nutty flavor.
It belongs to the Capsicum annuum species' variation glabriusculum according to taxonomy.
Pequin Pepper plants have a compact form and normally only grow 2-3 feet. The berries begin life as green, as with most chilies, before maturing to a striking deep red scarlet color.
Pequin is believed to have originated from the Spanish word pequeño, which means little. Its oblong fruit can be found growing wild everywhere from the American Southwest to the Andes. In Mexico, it is grown both wild and commercially.
Pickling, spice, salsas, sauces, soups, and vinegars are a few examples of common usage. Pequin peppers and chile de arbol peppers are two of the components of Cholula brand hot sauce.
The production of pequin peppers is limited because of their low seed germination (15 percent average germination rate) and susceptibility to disease, despite the fact that they are highly valued in Mexico and can cost more than 10 times as much as other peppers. Pequins are drought tolerant, although they like twice a week watering and moderate shade levels (35 percent shade).
Pequins are perennial plants that thrive in the shade of trees in the wild, but commercially they are grown as annuals because of their susceptibility to disease. Seeds need 7 to 28 days to germinate, 60 to 90 days to mature into seedlings, and 90 to 100 days after transplantation to start producing fruit.
