The Spinning Top Pepper is a standout addition to any kitchen or garden—a true Brazilian gem that captivates with its vibrant appearance and bold flavor profile.
As part of the Chinense family, this pepper not only enriches your culinary creations with medium heat but also adds a touch of exotic charm.
What makes the Spinning Top Pepper truly remarkable is its eye-catching shape, reminiscent of a spinning top toy. Some vendors label this pepper as Spinning Tops or Piaozinho. However, Spinning Top and Piaozinho are similar but slightly different varieties.
