Peri Peri! That is not just a flavour, a seasoning, or a sauce. Peri Peri is an emotion for most spice lovers. Those who love tangy, spicy food know that nothing beats the richness, the decadence, and the depth of this flavour.

Peri Peri (also sometimes called Piri Piri) is originally a very hot African sauce made from the red chili pepper indigenous to South Africa and Mozambique. The word Peri Peri comes from Pilipili which means “pepper” in Swahili.

Peri Peri is now no longer an African sauce. It belongs to the world. Peri Peri seasonings and spice mixes are now made from a variety of red peppers and chillies. Some of the best Indian brands such as Wingreens World bring to their Peri Peri Seasoning and Spice Mix the authentic tang with the perfect blend of condiments and spices such as black pepper and cumin. If you are given to craving Peri Peri flavoured fries at the oddest of times, we highly recommend buying your Peri Peri seasoning online and keeping it handy to toss a few fries in and fix yourself a treat.
