Malagueta pepper ], a variety of Capsicum frutescens, is a type of chili pepper widely used in Brazil, the Caribbean, Portugal, Mozambique, Angola, and São Tomé and Príncipe. It apparently got its name from the unrelated melegueta pepper from West Africa, because of a similar level of piquancy.

It is a small, tapered chili that rates at about 5 cm in length. It has a range of 60,000 to 100,000 Scoville units.
