The red and round Wiri Wiri chilli is the cousin of the Cayenne chilli pepper from Guyana. It grows vertically, in a warm and moist climate at the edges of the tropical forest. It looks a bit like a cherry so is often called “cherry chilli”. Its strong flavour has aromas of tomatoes. Use sparingly. It will enliven your stews, soups and sauces.
