Originating in Mexico, this petite pequin pepper is also known as the bird pepper and has a deep, complex flavor to enhance your dishes with a tasty spice. The red pequin pepper has a hot spice level with a smoky, citrusy, nutty flavor. With its short, elongated shape and vibrant reddish orange coloring, this pepper produces deep orange colored flakes.

You can also use them create a specialty hot sauce or spice mix for your patrons to use in your establishment, or to bottle and sell for customers to enjoy at home.
