A Mystical Plant
Malegueta peppers have been used for thousands of years by the natives for food and medicinal purposes. It was instrumental in the discovery of gold in Brazil.
Wherever explorers found the malagueta growing, gold was soon discovered close by, thus the Malagueta plant became a sign of good luck.
The Hot Sauce

In 2017, Légal was imported for the first time to the USA and is rapidly becoming a favorite of chefs and foodies alike.
