Birdseye chili ( Capsicum frutescens ) belongs to the paprika genus, the nightshade family. Grows mainly in South America and Thailand. First described in 1750 - described by botanist Carl Linnaeus. These chilies got their name because, since birds are insensitive to the sharpness of chilies, they can eat their fruits and spread the seeds over a wide area.

Birdseye chili grows in small bushes up to 2m high. The fruits grow as pods. Birdseye chilies contain almost twice as much capsaicin as most other peppers.

Chili can be used both whole and cut - with a sharp knife or a chili cutter.
