Everything you need to know about chillies and more… brought to you by Nando’s
With a colourful history dating back to around 7000 BC, the chilli pepper (aka capsicum plant) originates from South America where it grows wild. It however took the Portuguese to make it a hot topic.
The Nando’s chilli however is home grown and is known as the Birds-Eye Chilli (called Pili-Pili by the local Swahili’s). The chilli became a staple source of flavour for dishes created by Portuguese explorers in South Africa. The Nando’s Peri-Peri recipe has a long family history and is the source of the deliciously tasty and healthy offering now served across the world by Nando’s.
