Peri Peri Seasoning
Peri Peri Seasoning
Peri Peri Seasoning is a salt-free, MSG-free seasoning blend. It is also called piri piri seasoning powder, pili pili, peri peri powder, piri seasoning or piri piri spice mix. Pilipili means “pepper” in Swahili.
This seasoning blend arose from piri-piri sauce (or peri-peri, or pili-pili). The history of this sauce is murky and rambling, caught up in the history of Portuguese conquistadors and their travels through Africa and Brazil. Though different regions that enjoy peri peri use different ingredients to make this sauce, they all agree that there should be a bright burst of heat and some tart citrus to brighten it up.
Businesses that frequently purchase our Peri Peri Seasoning include:
