Description

The first thing you should know about the Bird’s Eye Chili Pepper is that it is ... HOT! That’s also the third and fifth things you should know. Small 1"-2", tapered fruit grows on a compact bush and ripens through all the showy colors of a painted bunting, green to purple to orange to red. Pungent with fruity, tropical notes and a serious blast of heat. Use this little Thai chili to add fiery flair to everything from Asian stir fries to Indian curries to South African peri-peri sauce.
