Our Red Wiri Wiri ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is sharp and sudden, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Wiri Wiri is a cherished variety originating from Guyana, resulting in its unique combination of decorative beauty and intense heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Wiri Wiri peppers have a distinctive appearance with a small, round, cherry-like shape and a vibrant red color.

The Experience

Red Wiri Wiri peppers are known to be the secret ingredient in authentic Caribbean stews! 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' Wiri Wiri peppers. Use our premium quality dry 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 dry flakes or ground Wiri Wiri peppers 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 fruity flavor of the Wiri Wiri without the overwhelming heat.
