Magic Plant Red Malagueta Pepper Powder
The Pride of Brazil—Intense, Sharp Heat with a Bright, Tropical Bite.
Overview
Our natural Red Malagueta packs a powerful heat at 60,000 to 100,000 (SHUs). Our Malaguetas provide a sharp, immediate sting that is highly sought after in Brazilian and Portuguese cuisine. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sharp and slightly fruity flavor! Our Red Malagueta ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is brisk and intense, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.
The Malagueta is a prized pepper widely used throughout South America and Africa, resulting in its popular heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Malagueta peppers have a distinctive appearance with a small, tapered shape and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their upright growth on the plant and their sleek, thin-walled texture, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience
Red Malaguetas are known to be a staple for those who love authentic regional spice! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' malaguetas. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!
Too Hot?
Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our fine ground Red Malagueta powder with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the bright flavor of the Red Malagueta without the overwhelming heat.
