Description
Red Pili Pili is a small, fiery bird chili known for its powerful heat and intense flavour. Although tiny in size, pili pili is one of the most characterful chilies in the spice world, bringing serious warmth to sauces, marinades, grilled dishes and slow-cooked meals.
Naturally sun-dried, this chili develops a concentrated aroma with notes of sun-dried tomato, subtle cocoa and fresh herb-like nuances. It is especially useful when you want to add depth, warmth and authentic chili character without using large quantities.
Use Red Pili Pili carefully. With a heat intensity of 8/10, a little goes a long way. It is perfect for people who enjoy spicy cooking, homemade chili sauces, barbecue marinades and bold international dishes.
