Taste Test – Brazilian Hot Peppers

Rita frequently stops at Brazilian grocery stores to pick up some of the products she grew up with and when she does there are several things I ask her to get for me. I am not an avid spice hound but I do enjoy hot peppers on my sandwich or in stir fries.

Malaqueta

These are very spicy and I use them in moderation.

Cumari Pepper

My favorite, use in salads, mixed with rice or in a stir fry.

Saborosa

A mix of very tasty but not too hot peppers.
