Description: Welcome to WG Ceylon ProductsSri Lanka Ceylon, Organic, Fresh, 100% High Quality High Germination Bird’s Eye Chili Pepper Hot Capsicum Frutescens NON-GMO Heirloom Fresh Garden 100 SeedsAbout Bird’s Eye ChiliBird’s eye chili peppers are extensively used in Thai cuisine and many countries surrounding Thailand. These peppers may be small in size but pack a punch in flavor; just a couple of chilis can liven up a dish with fiery heat, making them ideal for hot sauces, salsas, chili pastes, powders, and chili flakes.The bird’s eye chili, also known as the Red Thai Chili, is a variety of the plant species Capsicum annuum, which also encompasses other peppers like the bell pepper and cayenne pepper.What Does a Bird’s Eye Chili Taste Like?Bird’s eye chili starts off green and ripens to a vibrant, red color. They can be eaten in all different stages of maturity, and they may taste different depending on their ripeness.The red, mature peppers tend to taste a bit more fruity and sweet, while the green ones will be on the bitter, grassier side. But no matter the color, both greens and reds will pack enough heat to keep you on your toes! Is Bird’s Eye Chili Good for You?Not only do they taste great, but bird's eye chili peppers are also healthy! Sure, your eyes may water after that first bite, but capsaicinoids add spice along with plenty of health benefits. We know, we know: It seems too good to be true! Here are some ways that bird's eye chili peppers can benefit your health.Digestion SupportCapsaicin has plenty of positive effects on the digestive system. It increases the fluids in the stomach while inhibiting acid and enzyme production and improving digestion.Consuming capsaicin helps speed up the digestion process, enabling you to digest foods that would otherwise take a long time to complete the process. Weight ManagementSpicy foods can increase your energy expenditure, which allows you to burn calories quicker.According to epidemiological data, consumption of capsaicin is directly associated with lower rates of obesity. Cholesterol and Blood Pressure RegulationAccording to a study by the American College of Cardiology, regular consumption of red chili peppers helps boost heart health. Capsaicin is also known to lower blood cholesterol levels while not affecting HDL cholesterol (aka the “good” cholesterol that absorbs the bad stuff).What Can Bird’s Eye Chilies Be Used for?Sauces and MarinadesBird’s eye chili is used in various sauces and marinades, common in both Asia and Africa.In Indonesian cuisine, these chilis are used in a variety of dishes and sambals. Meanwhile, in Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, these chilis are used in soups, salads, curries, and even eaten raw – both fresh and dried.One of the most popular is an African sauce called Peri-Peri, which simply means “Pepper Pepper” in Swahili. This sauce is hot, but sweet, and the primary ingredient is bird's eye chili. Just add a few other ingredients like garlic, lemon, and olive oil, and you’re on your way!Meat SpicesAdd some heat to your meats using spices and powders featuring bird's eye chili. You can make tons of variations of D.I.Y. chili seasoning using chopped peppers, chili powders, garlic powder, mushrooms, red onion, and salt.CondimentsYou can also use bird's eye chilies to make your own condiments, like hot sauce. Just keep in mind that hot sauces like Tabasco only clocks in at 30,000 to 50,000 SHU, so the Bird’s Eye Hot Sauce will be quite a bit hotter. For extreme spicy lovers only!Growing InstructionsStart indoors in a sterile seed starting mix keeping the temperature above 70°. Once the plant has 6 to 8 true leaves and a well-established root system, harden off until the pepper plants can remain outside throughout the night. Some seeds can take 3 to 4 weeks to germinate. Transplant in large containers or raised beds. Water thoroughly—especially on the extremely hot days of summer. Make sure the plant receives lots of sun. Harvest cayenne peppers when they are red yet still firm. Use fresh in sauces or to add flavor to meats or vegetables. Thread the peppers on a string and hang to dry until they are brittle. Grind and store in a mason jar.Health benefits of bird’s eye chilliAids DigestionIf you keep having trouble with your stomach, you might want to try bird's eye chilli.

Atherosclerosis can be slowed down with the help of chilli powders.Helps in hair growthThe bird's-eye chilli helps get air moving on the scalp. When the flow of air slows down, hair can fall out until the head is bald.Stops the rise of blood pressureBird's-eye chilli can help keep the blood healthy, for example by getting rid of high blood pressure. Capsaicin makes sure that blood flows freely through the whole body, so that blood doesn't build up and block the heart's arteries.Gets Rid of High FeverThe plant can be used for more than just the chilli that is eaten. One of the health benefits is that it can bring down a fever. It works best when mixed with other herbs like lettuce oil and put on the whole body or just the forehead as usual.Keeps eyes healthyThe vitamin B2 in bird's eye chilli keeps your eyes healthy, lowers your risk of getting an eyesore, and makes your eyesight better.
