Wiri Wiri Pepper

Wiri Wiri peppers, also known as hot cherry peppers, are small but fiery chili peppers native to Guyana. These peppers measure about 1 inch in length and are known for their intense heat, which ranges from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This places them in the same league as habanero and Scotch bonnet peppers.

Wiri Wiri peppers start off green and mature into a vibrant red color, and they are often used in Guyanese cuisine to add heat and flavor to dishes like Pepper Pot Soup and curries. Despite their small size, these peppers pack a powerful punch and are a favorite among pepper heads.
