Malagueta pepper (Portuguese pronunciation:[mɐlɐˈɡetɐ]), a variety of Capsicum frutescens,[1] is a type of chili pepper widely used in the Portuguese-speaking world (Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, and São Tomé and Príncipe) and the Caribbean. It got its name from the unrelated melegueta pepper, an African spice from Guinea which is a member of the ginger family.[2]
The malagueta pepper is a small, tapered chili that grows to about 5 cm (2 in) in length. It has a range of 60,000 to 100,000 Scoville units.
