BIRDS EYE CHILLIES OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH

Birds Eye Chillies

Birds Eye Chillies are premium chillies sourced from Arunachal Pradesh, one of the beautiful North Eastern states of India. Small, conical, and vibrant red in color, these chillies are renowned for their exceptional heat ranging between 50,000 and 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Despite their tiny size of about one inch, they deliver an intense and lingering spice experience, making them highly valued by culinary enthusiasts around the world.

Unlike many chillies that provide an instant burst of heat, Birds Eye Chillies are famous for their unique “sneak-up” heat that builds gradually and lasts longer. Beyond their fiery nature, they possess a fresh, fruity, and slightly pungent flavor that enhances dishes without overpowering them. Their bright color and distinctive peppery taste make them ideal for curries, sauces, pickles, and spice blends.

Birds Eye Chillies are low in calories yet rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and capsaicin, a natural compound responsible for their heat and numerous health benefits. Capsaicin is associated with boosting metabolism and supporting cardiovascular health by helping manage cholesterol levels. Since capsaicin is not water-soluble, dairy products such as milk or yogurt containing casein are effective in reducing spiciness. Birds Eye Chilli Powder is highly concentrated, requiring only about 50% of the quantity used for ordinary chilli powders to achieve the desired heat.
