What Pepper is the African Birds Eye Pepper?
Piri Piri, or African Bird's Eye chile, is a spicy pepper closely related to the tabasco pepper. Originally grown in the wild in Africa, it is now commercially cultivated in regions of Africa and Portugal for use in sauces, spices, and even medicine.
Each plant grows multiple tight groupings of these peppers, resulting in heavy yielding plants.

Note: Piri-Piri, Peri-Peri, and Wiri Wiri are all names for hot peppers, as they are typically thin-walled and similar in size to cherries.
