One name, several plants
The supplier points out that in Peru the name Piri Piri is used for several different plants. The one in this blend is Justicia pectoralis, which most people in Brazil call anador. It is a small, low-growing herb with a sweet scent that the supplier compares to vanilla. Because each plant is so small, a large amount has to be gathered for a little usable material, so the supplier regards the herb as a scarce ingredient.
Botanical identity
The World Checklist of Vascular Plants, as published on GBIF, lists Justicia pectoralis Jacq. as a synonym. The accepted name is Dianthera pectoralis (Jacq.) J.F.Gmel., in the acanthus family (Acanthaceae). The species is native from Mexico and Central America through northern South America and Brazil (north, north-east and west-central) to Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and north-eastern Argentina. In Florida and on several Caribbean islands it is recorded as introduced.
Piri Piri and other Recanto Verde blends
According to the supplier, both the Nukini and the Kuntanawa of Acre include Piri Piri in their rapé. Recanto Verde is also where Onça, the blend of the community leader Xiti Nukini, and Rawni are made. Every blend of this people is listed in the Nukini category.
Rapé: what is known
Rapé (also spelled hapé or rapeh) is the name for Amazonian snuffs, most often made of finely ground tobacco, usually Nicotiana rustica, mixed with bark ash or other plants. In Portuguese, rapé simply means snuff; the word comes from the French “râpé”, grated. There is no single recipe: the blend changes with the people, the region and the purpose, and tobacco-free rapés also exist.
Among several peoples of Acre, including the Huni Kuin, the Yawanawá and the Noke Koî (Katukina), rapé has a ritual role. It is blown into the nostrils with a tepi, a long pipe handled by another person, or with a kuripe, a V-shaped applicator used on one’s own.
| Known compounds | Nicotine, in very variable amounts: 0.6 to 4.8% in the rapés analysed by a US CDC laboratory. Alkaline ashes make the nicotine easier to absorb (Stanfill et al. 2015). |
|---|---|
| Reported effects | Brief burning in the nose, watering eyes, runny nose; dizziness, nausea and sometimes vomiting, which practitioners call a “purge”. Rapé is not psychedelic. |
| Traditional use | Shamanic and communal use among the Huni Kuin, Yawanawá and Noke Koî of Acre, often in ceremonies where ayahuasca is also present (ISA; Faria 2016). |
| State of research | Chemical analyses of commercial products, with no clinical study of rapé itself. Health data come from studies of smokeless tobacco. |
Good to know
- Rapés with tobacco contain nicotine, which is addictive and speeds up the heart; they are not suitable during pregnancy or for people with heart disease.
- The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies smokeless tobacco as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
- Nicotine is toxic to children and pets: keep rapé out of their reach.
- Do not share an applicator: traces of blood can remain on the tips.
Storing rapé
Keep rapé in a tightly closed container, dry, away from light and heat: the powder takes up moisture and clumps quickly.
