African Bird Eye Chilli

When it comes to spices that pack a punch, few can rival the intensity and versatility of African Bird's Eye Chilli. The African bird's eye chilli is a small, vibrantly coloured hot pepper found in the African wild, popular in soups, hot sauces and more. The African Bird’s Eye is a small chilli, growing to only about 1 inch, but they pack a lot of punch. They mature to red or purple, and have a tapered shape, with a blunt point. Historically found in the African wild, it has recently been grown commercially in some parts of Africa, often to be used as pepper extract or as organic pest control.  It goes beyond being just a heat-inducing ingredient and opens up a world of culinary wonders and therapeutic potential.
