Green piri piri peppers are a less mature version of this spicy chili variety, characterized by a fresh, grassy flavor and intense heat. Thanks to their distinctiveness, they are often used in cooking to add a sharp, fresh accent to dishes. They work great in sauces, marinades and as an addition to meat and vegetable dishes, especially in African and Portuguese cuisines.
In terms of medicinal properties, green piri piri peppers are rich in vitamins, such as vitamin C, and minerals that support the immune system. They also contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, which has anti-inflammatory properties, supports metabolism and can help improve blood circulation.
