Spice for Life Organic Bird's Eye Chilli - Whole, 30 g

These Bird's Eye Chillies are grown on an Indian farm in the northeastern province of Uttar Pradesh. The farm is a part of the Amen Organic project and is farmed by small-time farmers under ecologically sound conditions.

The natural conditions give the chillies an especially great flavour. They don't contain any of the chemical chilli concentrates that are often used in Europe and the US to enhance the flavours. The Amen Organic project supports the farmers and the environment, paying fair prices for the chillies and improving the farmer's living conditions while ensuring good harvests with the best results.

Originally the Bird's Eye Chili comes from Africa and is also called Peri-Peri, the name for 'spicy chilli' in Malawi. The Bird's Eye Chili is also known as Piri Piri or Pili Pili which means ​​"chilli chilli" in different dialects and languages. It's extra spicy!
