Piri-Piri Pepper
The piri-piri, or peri-peri, pepper is a cultivar of the chile pepper species Capsicum frutescens in the nightshade family (Solanaceae). The name is Swahili for “pepper-pepper.” Portuguese settlers carried C. frutescens to Africa and, in Mozambique and Angola, developed the unique piri-piri from the Brazilian malagueta pepper.
