Packed with fire, Extra-Extra Hot PERi-PERi is for the serious heat seekers and not for the faint-hearted! Are you brave enough? You may be asking yourself just how spicy it is - like tackling a ferociously fiery dragon.
Nando's started way back in 1987 when the first restaurant opened in Rosettenville in Johannesburg, South Africa. We've come a long way since then, but we've never forgotten our humble beginnings.
Nando's originated in South Africa, but we grow our PERi-PERi throughout Southern Africa-especially in Mozambique. Responsibility is core to our business, so we choose to empower more than 1,400 farmers by growing our own PERi-PERi across nearly 500 acres in the region.
PERi-PERi, also known as the African Bird's Eye Chilli, is the key to our legendary, flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. It's grown in the African soil, so the magic starts from the ground up. It tastes amazing, but the benefits don't stop there:
-PERi-PERi chilli seeds are rich in Vitamins A, B, and C.
-They also have capsaicin, which enhances mood: your pupils dilate, your metabolic rate increases, and there's a rush of endorphins when you consume it!
-PERi-PERi is a natural preservative that prevents us from adding weird or unnatural ingredients to our sauces.
