Guyanese Wiri Wiri/ Cherry Pepper Plant

Also known as: Guyanese Wiri Wiri Pepper, Cherry Pepper, Bird Pepper
Small but incredibly powerful, Wiri Wiri peppers are famous for their intense heat and rich smoky-fruity flavor that brings authentic Caribbean and South American cooking to life. These tiny round peppers grow abundantly on compact plants and are loved in Guyanese pepper sauce, stews, marinades, soups, and traditional dishes. Their bright red color and bold aroma make them just as beautiful in the garden as they are flavorful in the kitchen.
