Peppadew

Peppadew

A member of the capsicum family, the sweet and spicy flavour of the South African Sweet Piquante Pepper, sold under the Peppadew brand, is an incredibly versatile food. It's delicious on its own and the perfect accompaniment to a summer barbecue either on a kebab, in a marinade, or added to a salad.
