Chili Birdseye Whole 50g

Handle with care! Our Whole Bird's Eye Chilies are famous for their intense, sharp heat and slightly fruity undertones. A staple in Southeast Asian cuisines, these small but mighty chilies pack a serious punch and are perfect for infusing oils, making fiery pastes, and adding raw heat to dishes.
Unlock the fiery potential of this iconic chili:

Spice Pastes & Curries: Soak in warm water to rehydrate, then blend into authentic Thai curry pastes (e.g., Green Curry) or sambal.

Infused Oils & Vinegars: Add a few whole chilies to a bottle of oil or vinegar to create a beautifully spicy base for dressings and cooking.

Spice Grinds: Dry roast briefly and grind in a mortar or spice grinder to make your own incredibly potent chili flakes or powder.

Slow-Cooked Dishes: Add a single whole chili to soups, stews, and braises (like rendang) for a deep, building heat. Remove before serving.

Fiery Garnish: Finely slice (handle with gloves!) and use as a garnish for noodles, stir-fries, and soups.

A Word of Caution: These are very hot chilies. Always handle with care. We recommend using gloves when cutting or processing them and avoiding touching your eyes or face. Start with a very small amount and add more to taste.

How to Use: For a slower release of heat, add whole. For immediate, intense heat, crush, slice, or grind. To rehydrate for pastes, soak in warm water for 20-30 minutes until soft.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place.
