Botany and Agriculture of Bird's Eye Cayenne Branch

Bird's eye chili, also known as "bird's eye chili" or "cayena en rama ojo de pájaro" or "prik kee noo" in Thai, is a spicy chili species belonging to the Solanaceae family. Its scientific name is Capsicum frutescens and it is native to Central and South America. The bird's eye chili bush grows up to a height of 1-1.5 meters and produces small, thin fruits about 2.5 cm long and 0.8 cm wide. The fruits are light green when young, and mature to become red. The plant needs a warm and humid climate to grow and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It can be grown in pots or in the garden, and its fruits are ideal for drying or using fresh.

Bird's Eye Cayenne Branch: Gastronomy

Bird's eye chili is very popular in Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine, where it is used to flavor and spice up a wide variety of dishes. It is a key ingredient in the preparation of Thai curry, as well as in sauces, marinades, and salads. Overall, the bird's eye chili is very spicy, with a heat level ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville units. This makes it hotter than jalapeño, but less than habanero. It is also known as piri piri, which is a variety of chili native to Africa that has spread to other countries such as Portugal, Brazil, and Mozambique.
