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.
Cubeb pepper, also known as the tailed pepper, which comes from Indonesia, is characterized by its slight spiciness and its subtle, yet bitter aromatic notes of clove. On its own or mixed with other peppers, use it to flavour your sweet and sour dishes, chutneys or fruit compotes.
