Frequently Asked Questions
What is Peri-Peri and how do I use it?
Peri-Peri, or piri-piri, is a fiery chilli sauce originating from Portuguese-South African fusion, made with African bird's eye chillies, garlic, and lemon. Use Nando's Peri-Peri Marinade to soak chicken for 1-24 hours before grilling, or shake the sauce over chips, pizzas, or avo toast for instant heat.
Is Redbush tea the same as Rooibos?
Yes, Tetley Redbush is premium rooibos tea from South Africa's Cederberg region, naturally caffeine-free with a smooth, honey-like flavour. Brew one bag per cup in boiling water for 3-5 minutes; enjoy hot with milk or iced for summer refreshment.
Are these products suitable for vegetarians?
Most items like Peri-Peri Sauce, Marinade, Salt, and Redbush Tea are vegetarian-friendly, but always check labels for allergens. Nando's range is vegan-compatible in many variants, perfect for plant-based braais or curries.
How should I store South African sauces and tea?
Keep unopened sauces and salt in a cool, dry place away from sunlight; refrigerate after opening and use within 6-8 weeks. Store tea bags in an airtight container to preserve freshness for up to 18 months.
