Malagueta Pepper

Malagueta Pepper is a small, fiery fruit used across many cuisines — from Thai and West African to Italian and Portuguese — prized for its heat and bright flavor. It’s commonly used fresh, dried, crushed into flakes or made into hot sauces and pastes. Nutritionally, Malagueta Pepper is low in calories but packs a lot of micronutrient value; for example it contains 143mg of vitamin C per 100g, and also provides vitamin B6 and copper while being very low in fat. The characteristic compound capsaicin gives it heat and contributes to its use both as a culinary spice and in research on metabolism and pain modulation. Overall this is a nutrient-dense, healthful ingredient — rich in vitamin C and other micronutrients — and it also supplies antioxidant carotenoids and polyphenolic compounds that can support cellular health.Read more
