Kambuzi is a small, round chili pepper cultivar found in central Malawi, a landlocked country in southeast Africa. It comes in a variety of colors including yellow, red and orange. It is used to make condiments and turned into sauces, or sandwich spreads. [3] [4] [5] Their flavor is similar to that of the Habanero chili.

The name translates to "little goat", as goats are known to munch on the leaves of these peppers. [6]
