Malagueta Peppers from Brazil

The Malagueta pepper is a highly popular pepper in Brazil and is now gaining popularity in western countries. It is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, often used as a hot sauce and condiment in many dishes. Vinegar brine with malagueta peppers is a common ingredient in Brazilian cuisine, especially in Central and Northern Brazil.

The demand for malagueta pepper has been increasing in recent years, particularly in Europe and the US, where hot sauce manufacturers are starting to use it as the main component in their products. The Malagueta Pepper is a medium-hot chili pepper that is suitable for both pepper enthusiasts and those who prefer milder spices. Its unique flavor sets it apart from other types of chili peppers.

The Malagueta Pepper is mainly grown in a few states in Brazil, with Minas Gerais and the mid-northern regions being notable regions of production. The pepper starts out as a green pepper and eventually turns into its well-known intense red hue as it grows to a height of around 2 inches.
