Wiri Wiri

Wiri Wiri is one of the harder to find varieties of Capsicum Frutescens, but it is worth looking for. Originating in northern South America, specifically Guyana, it packs a wallop in the spice and flavor department. It is jam-packed with a deep fruity and smoky flavor, with tomato-like notes that make it great for sauces and marinades.

This small pepper is a big hit in the pungency department. Reaching Scotch Bonnet heat levels, Wiri Wiri is deceptively spicy. At a maximum of 1 inch in diameter for their biggest fruits, they almost look like cherries hanging from the shrub.

With its adorable looks and its hard-hitting spice, it is one of our rising stars. Contact us to add Wiri Wiri to your one-of-a-kind menu as well.
