Dried Madagascar peri-peri peppers

Dried Madagascar peri-peri peppers

This red pepper from Madagascar sets itself apart from other peppers by its fieriness and its intensity. Definitely a force to be reckoned with, this fiery pepper can be enjoyed in moderate quantities in all dishes, sauces and marinades. It will be especially complementary in Portuguese and African cuisines, and other exotic dishes.

Do not underestimate this tiny pepper because the peri-peri pepper is ranked 9 amongst the 10 spiciest peppers on the Scoville scale (scale used to measure spiciness of peppers).
