Dried Bird's Eye Chilli: Intense Heat & Vibrant Flavour
The Fiery Heart of Southeast Asian Cuisine
Unlock the explosive heat and distinctive flavour of our Dried Bird's Eye Chillies. Known as Prik Kee Noo in Thailand and a staple across Southeast Asia, these small, potent chillies pack a powerful punch that is both immediate and intense. Don't let their size fool you—they deliver a sharp, clean heat (50,000-100,000 SHU) with a slightly fruity, smoky undertone that forms the foundational spice for countless iconic dishes.
Ideal for grinding into flakes, blending into pastes, or infusing into oils, these dried chillies offer a more complex, concentrated flavour than fresh alternatives, making them an essential tool for authentic Asian cooking.
