My grandmother always had these growing wild in her yard in Ingleside Texas. And I've grown a plant in California from seeds that my mother gave from plants in her yard. I just bought a pack of Tipin seeds from Amazon. I'm watching videos now to grow better plants.
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.
@@npsotclearlake: Mine seems to like it, but then again what choice does it have? lol.
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. :)
Chilepequin and chiltepin are always confused. Chiltepin is native to Arizona, Texas and northern Mexico. Chilepequin is native to Mexico. Chiltepin is more round and smaller or sometimes oval shaped. Chilepequin is slightly larger and resembles a small jalapeño because it is more pointy.
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❤
Great video! I loved how informative it was, the information on an edible plant and especially the recipe at the end which I will most definitely try!
The Texas Native Chili is the Chiltepin. Is that different? I thought they were a smaller variety
Great video! I’m new to Texas and was gifted some seeds. Excited to grow!
I LOVE Chile Piquin ❤ We have Seasoning with this wonderful Pepper!
Thanks
I'd eat that salsa with one maybe two chips! I love that stuff.
I believe this is chile tepin, chile pequin is slightly bigger and pointier.
Correct
Call what you want.......an argument as old as time.
@@ui888iu Ok, from now on I'll call it Burny McBurnface Pepper.
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.
Serrano is my favorite !
Hello are these chilies also known as Chili del monte?
It is! There are so many regional common names.
These chilies are called Chiltepin or chile del monte in México, no pequin
Gracias! me gusto el video.
The official name in Sinaloa Mexico is Chiltepin or chile del pájaro, instead of pequin, and it's extremely difficult to germinate
This one is tepin like you are saying, pequin is slightly bigger and pointier.
Yes I agree, the Chili del monte aka "Pequin" not the Bird Pepper aka " Tepin"
Air layer.
Thanks, but you never said which ones were poisonous??
I put about 6 tablespoons of ground in a pot of beans with smoked bacon ,garlic onion let cook about 10 hours slow oh yea 👍
I smoke the bacon on mesquite.
Sounds delicious!
Just planted set in greenhouse see what happens
I grew up in South Texas but live in Indiana now. Will they survive our snowy winters? Thanks
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.
Making salsa de piquín with tomatoes from a can instead of fresh ones is a federal crime.
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
My plant is dropping flowers. Any suggestions?
@@gerardoa1392 I’m trying to figure out what to do with my plants this winter. I winter prepped one last year and kept it in my gargae
P@@madisonreb4964
It a member of the peper family not potato fam
This is not a pequin. It is a chile tepin.
This is not chile piquin
ES CHILE PIQUÏN, no pequín
Thanks for the clarification. Common names vary by region, which is why we rely on botanical (scientific) names!
chili pequin is not the same as chili petin.
Sorry, there is a lot misinformation here. Sigh
Our volunteers do their best!
Thats chile tepin not pequin
I know it as piquin
@@alexita000 pequin has a different shape
@@rustyarmendariz1584 You sir , are incorrect .
@@strateshooter1402 Absolutely not. Not me. Certainly not I.
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.
Nope, it's round! So, it's aTepin pepper or chiltepin. It's actually the Texas State Native Pepper.
