The Guyanese Berry Chili—Sharp Heat with a Unique Savory-Sweet Profile.

Overview

Our natural Red Wiri Wiri packs a significant punch, averaging between 100,000 and 350,000 (SHUs). Known as the "cherry chili," the Wiri Wiri provides an upfront, stinging heat that is a staple in Caribbean cuisine. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex savory flavor, often compared to a spicy tomato or tangy berry! Our Red Wiri Wiri ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented mash are very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is felt quickly, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Wiri Wiri is a prized variety from Guyana, resulting in its distinctive flavor and heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Wiri Wiri peppers have a unique appearance, looking like small, bright red cherries or berries. They are often characterized by their small, round shape, giving them a "berry-like" appearance that is highly sought after in the chili community.

The Experience

Red Wiri Wiri peppers are known to be a secret weapon for gourmet chefs! 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' peppers. Use our premium quality 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 fermented mash 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 tangy berry flavor of the Wiri Wiri without the overwhelming heat.
