I love my chili pequin plant, my mother in law gave it to me several years ago. It’s potted as i live in central Illinois and can only set it out late spring to late fall. I make hot vinegar for my salads and ramen and such and share the rest of the crop with family.

That sounds delicious! And thanks for the info about growing yours in a pot. We are always looking for natives that do well in containers.

Very interesting! It’s amazing to me how the foods we are familiar with (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers) are related. Somehow it makes them more interesting when you know they’re family. :)

I just found this plant in my backyard. I just moved in Texas. I tasted it very spicy even though it's very tiny pepper. I didn't know it was a species of pepper, until I tasted it. Finally, I found its name

Birds eat them then when they poop the seeds a plant will grow.

... lucky.... take care of it... make sure when you pick the chilis that you pick the peppers with a lil bit of stem... otherwise it won't produce if you just pick the pepper itself without the stem.... the more you pick... the more peppers it produces❤

The official name in Sinaloa Mexico is Chiltepin or chile del pájaro, instead of pequin, and it's extremely difficult to germinate

At 3:38 in the video, it shows a graphic of the Distribution of Chile Pequin in Texas. This map needs to be updated. I have them all over my property in Washington County, TX. (Brenham) and it is not present on the map. Great video by the way.

I grew up in South Texas but live in Indiana now. Will they survive our snowy winters? Thanks

@michaelinhouston9086 11 ай бұрын

No, they would not survive the cold but here is a solution - grow it in a large pot and, before the first frost, put it in a basement or garage that will stay above freezing. However, they can take some cold - my pepper froze to the ground (the ground itself never froze) last winter but has come roaring back and is now 3 feet tall.

No es chile pekin sino pikin o chile de monte parecido al chiltepin el chiltepin es masgrandey el pikin más pequeño y extremadamente bravo y no te irrita el intestino al consumirlo y este no nace como el chiltepin estés tiene ke ser consumido primero por los pájaros así ke hay ke comprarlo caro

@semiferalhiker9560 2 жыл бұрын

Everyone is correct. The names are often used interchangeably. True piquins are from the Mexican state of Tobasco and are larger and more oval than the plants pictured in this video. True piquins are much less hot than Tepin/Chiltepin/Chile Pequin/Chile Del Monte. Chiltepins/Tepin/Chile Pequin are native to North America and their ranges extends north of Mexico and into some southern US states. They are the mother of all peppers and there is actually Wild Chile Botanical Area in Southern AZ dedicated to preserving their most northern US habitat. This preserve is the only land dedicated to the preservation of a wild ancestor of a current food crop.
