Bird’s Eye (Piri Piri) Chili Poeder 10g

Bird’s Eye Chili Powder, also known as Piri Piri, is famous for its pure and powerful heat. This small yet fiery chili belongs to the Capsicum frutescens species and averages around 100,000 Scoville Heat Units. That makes it nearly ten times hotter than a jalapeño and a favorite among those who crave intense, uncompromising spice.

The flavor is sharp and straightforward. No fruity or smoky undertones, just a clean and piercing heat that brings energy to any dish. Bird’s Eye Chili Powder adds character to meats, sauces, and marinades, and also works beautifully in spicy stews or goulash. A small pinch is often enough to awaken your food with vibrant heat.

The name Bird’s Eye refers to the pointed shape of the chili and the birds that naturally spread its seeds. Birds are unaffected by capsaicin and help the plant propagate across wide regions. Thanks to this, the Piri Piri chili spread throughout much of Africa, where it still grows wild today.

Use sparingly, as the intensity can quickly dominate a dish. In the right amount, it provides a warm glow that builds gradually without overpowering other flavors. Add it to meat, fish, sauces, or chili oil and discover why this pepper is celebrated around the world.

Bird’s Eye Chili Powder is a classic in both African and Portuguese cuisines and forms the foundation of the famous Piri Piri sauce. For anyone who truly loves heat, this pure chili powder is an absolute essential in the kitchen.
