Organic Birds Eye chili from controlled organic cultivation with intense heat and a fruity, spicy aroma. The dried red chili peppers are ground into a fine to flaky consistency, making them ideal for seasoning curries, soups, sauces, stews, and marinades.
Birds Eye chili is one of the particularly hot chili varieties. With a heat level of approximately 100,000–140,000 Scoville, even a small amount provides a clearly perceptible and long-lasting heat.
After harvesting, the fully ripe red chili peppers are gently dried and then finely ground. This preserves the characteristic chili aroma and the intense red color.
Origin
The Birds Eye chilies come from India, Uganda, or Tanzania. The warm climate and high sun exposure of these cultivation regions offer good conditions for the development of aromatic and hot chili peppers.
Cultivation / Production / Harvest
The chili plants are cultivated according to organic farming guidelines. The ripe peppers are harvested, dried, and then processed into a fine to flaky ground chili powder.
Special Features
Birds Eye chili is characterized by its intense, direct heat. Thanks to its fine grain, the powder is easy to dose and distribute evenly in dishes.
Taste & Smell
The chili powder has an intense, long-lasting heat with slightly fruity and spicy notes. The scent is typically chili-like and clear, without pronounced smoky or roasted aromas.
Possible Uses
- For adding heat to curries and Asian dishes
- For soups, stews, and sauces
- For marinades and spice blends
