Seeds - Thai Birds Eye Red

The Red Thai Birdseye Chilli is a classic hot Capsicum annuum variety widely used throughout Southeast Asian cuisine. It produces small slender pods that ripen from green to bright red and is known for its sharp clean heat and strong pungent flavour.

Despite its small size, the Red Thai Birdseye delivers an intense fast-hitting heat typically ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units. The flavour is bright, earthy, slightly fruity, and highly aromatic, making it a staple ingredient in Thai curries, stir-fries, sauces, sambals, soups, and chilli pastes.

Pods are commonly used fresh, dried, crushed, or infused into oils and vinegars. Their strong heat and concentrated flavour make them highly valued for authentic Asian cooking and homemade hot sauces.
