The Chilli Bird Eye – Thai Chilli 20g Pot is a dried whole chilli product known for its intense heat and concentrated flavour. Commonly used in Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine, these small chillies deliver a strong spicy kick while adding depth and character to a wide range of dishes.

Bird’s eye chillies are recognised for their high heat level, typically reaching around 50,000–200,000 Scoville Heat Units, making them significantly hotter than standard chillies such as jalapeños. Despite their heat, they also offer a slightly fruity and aromatic flavour, which enhances sauces, marinades, and stir-fry dishes when used carefully.

These chillies can be used whole, crushed, or infused into oils and dressings to release their flavour gradually. They are particularly suitable for curries, soups, stir-fries, and dipping sauces, as well as pickling and spice blends. Their small size means only a small amount is needed to achieve the desired level of heat.

Packed in a convenient 20g pot, this format allows for controlled use and easy storage while maintaining freshness. It is suitable for both home cooking and more advanced recipes that require a stronger level of spice.
