Birdseye Chiles Whole Organic (Sold In Bulk)

Dried birdseye chili (also known as Thai bird chili) is a small, potent pepper that packs a lot of heat. These tiny, slender chilis are typically red when ripe and are known for their intense spiciness, often ranking around 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHUs), which is quite hot compared to other chili varieties.

Dried birdseye chilis are a common ingredient in many Southeast Asian cuisines, including Thai, Cambodian, and Vietnamese. They're often used in curries, stir-fries, and sauces, or ground into chili powder. You can also rehydrate them by soaking them in warm water to use in various dishes. The dried version retains much of the intense heat and can also have a slightly smoky or earthy flavor.

If you’re using them in cooking, a little goes a long way—just a few can add a significant amount of heat to a dish!
