History of Nando's

Many centuries ago, Portuguese explorers in search of spices not only discovered the famous Spice Route to the East but also discovered southern Africa's best guarded secret…the tiny Bird's-Eye Chile.

Known in different regions as peri-peri, piri piri and pili-pili, it is this tiny capsicum that gives the Nando's sauces and flame-grilled chicken its unique flavor.

Here are some of the health benefits that chiles provide:
High levels of Vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that binds with free radicals (those bodies that cause cells to mutate) and is essential for the formation of collagen. One Jalapeño chile contains more vitamin C than three oranges.
An excellent purifying agent.
A tremendous source of vitamin A, folic acid and potassium.
Chilees also contain Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Sodium, Magnesium, Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and Niacin.
An effective decongestant (as many a teary-eyed Chile eater will confirm).
Thinning of the blood, essential to prevent blood clots (Capsaicin - the heat component in Chiles).
A lowering effect on cholesterol (Capsaicin).

Chiles are also believed to trigger the release of endorphins, chemicals produced by the body which tend to lift your spirits. A good diet would include peri-peri in at least one meal a day, 365 days of the year!
