Asian Birds Eye Chilli

C. Annuum

Asian Birds Eye Chilli is one of the most well known chilli varieties. Available in almost every supermarket.

The plant grows to about 1.7 metre in a pot – even bigger if it’s planted in the ground (ours is and it has grown to a height of 2 metres).

Easy to grow and furthermore a great producer of small thin chillies. The pods are approximately 2.5 cm in length by 1 cm wide. Ripen from green to bright red and have a beautiful upward pointing shape. Very used in Asian dishes, pickled or in a hot sauce due to its neutral flavour. We use the Asian Birds Eye together with Scotch Bonnet in our AfterBurner Chilli Sauce.

Flavour wise: Very neutral taste and that why you pickle them with white vinegar, soy sauce and salt.

Heat level:  Upper mid heat, 7/15

10-12 chilli seeds per pack
