The Piri Piri, or African Birdseye Pepper, is Genus/Species Capsicum Frutescens. The African Birdseye pepper has one of the more unique flavor profiles of this species. This pepper is considered to be the hottest member of the birdseye peppers. Instead of drooping downward, the African Birdseye points upward as it grows on the plant.
We hand-pick our bird’s eye peppers and then process the fresh peppers to preserve their unique qualities such as aroma, flavor, heat factor, and health benefits, including the benefits derived from the vitamins and minerals within each pepper, as well as the benefits from the capsicum/heat factor in the peppers.
