Bird’s eye chili

Bird’s eye chili, also known as Thai chili or bird’s chili, is a small, slender, and intensely spicy pepper native to Southeast Asia. Measuring about 1 to 2 inches in length, it has a bright red or green color when ripe. Despite its small size, it packs significant heat due to high capsicum content, making it a popular ingredient in spicy dishes, sauces, and condiments. Its vibrant flavor adds a fiery kick to food without overpowering other ingredients, and it’s commonly used fresh, dried, or pickled in various cuisines around the world.
