CAMEROON PEPPER - 60g
Cameroon pepper (also known as 'kon peppe', 'ose nsukka', or 'atarugu') is a premium, highly aromatic, and intensely hot spice derived from sun-dried Scotch bonnet or habanero peppers. Renowned for its deep, smoky flavour and high heat, it is a staple in Nigerian and West African cuisine, used to elevate soups, stews, and sauces.
- Soups and Stews: A small pinch of ground Cameroon pepper adds significant, pungent heat to traditional soups and stews.
- Jollof Rice and Fried Rice: It is used as a flavourful, smoky ingredient for savoury rice dishes.
- Pepper Soup: Ideal for creating authentic, fiery African pepper soup.
- Marinades and Seasoning: It works as a rub for grilled meats and fish.
- Sauces: Used in concocting spicy pepper sauces and dips.
- Heat Profile: Extremely hot with a distinct, pungent, and smoky aroma.
- Colour: Often shades of orange, yellow, or light brown rather than deep red.
- Nutritional Benefits: Contains high levels of potassium, riboflavin, and niacin and is packed with vitamin C and K.
It is highly versatile; because of its extreme heat, it is recommended to use it sparingly.
