Bird’s eye chilli or piri piri is a small, thin chilli pepper known for its sharp heat and clean, bright flavour. The pods are typically red when fully ripe, though green versions also appear. This variety is widely used in African, Portuguese and Asian cooking. It sits among the hotter peppers, so it is used in small amounts.<\/p>\n
Piri piri is the name used in African and Portuguese kitchens, while bird’s eye chilli is common in English-speaking regions. Both refer to the same type of small, potent pepper. The heat is direct and fast, without a heavy smoky note. That makes bird’s eye chilli or piri piri suitable for sauces, marinades and spice blends.<\/p>\n
In the kitchen, the peppers work whole, crushed or ground. They flavour piri piri sauce, curries, stews, grilled meat and seafood. A single pod can lift a large pot of soup or a tray of roasted vegetables. Ground into flakes or powder, the chilli also fits dry rubs and spice mixes.<\/p>\n
The product is supplied in sealed food-grade packaging. Available pack sizes are 250g, 500g, 750g, 1000g and 1500g. Larger formats suit kitchens that use chilli regularly. The sealed bag protects the peppers from moisture and loss of aroma.<\/p>\n
Store the peppers in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Keep the packaging closed after opening. Airtight containers help preserve heat and flavour over time. Proper storage keeps the pods firm and the aroma strong for longer.<\/p>\n
This chilli suits restaurants, caf\u00e9s, bakeries and food production. It also works for home kitchens where spicy dishes are prepared often. Chefs use it for sauces and marinades, bakeries for savoury fillings and spice breads. The range of pack sizes covers both small and large needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
