Pequin (or piquín) pepper is a hot chili pepper cultivar commonly used as a spice. Taxonomically, it is classified within variety glabriusculum of the species Capsicum annuum.

Features:

• Pequin has a compact habit, growing typically 0.3-0.6 meters tall, with bright green, ovate leaves and small berries that rarely exceed 2 cm in length.
• Like most chilies, the berries start out green, ripening to brilliant red at maturity.
• Pequin peppers are very hot, often 5-8 times hotter than jalapeños on the Scoville scale (30,000 to 60,000 Units).
• Flavor is described as citrusy, smoky (if dried with wood smoke), and nutty.
• Common uses include pickling, salsas, sauces, soups, and vinegars. The Cholula brand hot sauce lists piquin peppers and chile de arbol peppers among its ingredients.
