Product detailed description

Bird Chilli from Cambodia

is a small but extremely hot chilli pepper, known for its intense flavour and versatile use in the kitchen. Often called 'Thai Bird's Eye Chilli', this variety grows naturally in the tropical climate of Cambodia where it is cultivated using traditional methods without the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides.

Bird Chilli is characterised by its small size, thin wall and distinctive hotness, which reaches Scoville scale values between 50 000-100 000 units. Although the pepper is extremely hot, it also offers subtle citrus and fruity notes that add depth to dishes.

In Cambodian and Asian cuisine, Bird Chilli is used both fresh, dried or ground. It is excellent in curries, soups, sauces, marinades or as a seasoning for meat and seafood. Thanks to its intensity, it only needs to be added in small quantities to give a distinctive flavour and spicy touch to the dish.

Bird Chilli is not only a culinary gem but also a source of health benefits - it contains capsaicin, which boosts metabolism, improves circulation and has anti-inflammatory properties. It is a popular choice for lovers of spicy flavours and authentic Asian food.
