Jindungo: The Fire Pepper of Lusophone Africa
Jindungo (also known as Gindungo or Piri-Piri) is a variety of the Capsicum frutescens species that became popular in Angola and Mozambique, where it is a culinary pillar. This is the pepper for those who want a spice that truly stands out.
Intensity and Classification
Jindungo is classified as "Very Hot", with a heat level reaching up to 200,000 Scoville Units (SHU). This level of heat puts it comfortably above the Portuguese Malagueta and close to a milder Habanero. It offers an immediate, intense, and vibrant heat.
Shape, Aroma, and Cooking
The fruits are small, generally between 1 to 3 cm, and boast a bright red color. Jindungo is known for its penetrating spicy flavor, widely used in oils, sauces, and vinegars to season fish, poultry, and classics like Muamba de Galinha.
Versatility and Legacy
Its small size and high concentration of capsaicin make it perfect for drying and adding whole or powdered to dishes. It is the ingredient that provides authentic heat to the famous Piri-Piri of Angola and Mozambique.
Jindungo - SHU 200,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
