Q: Hi Dave,

I am trying to locate the Peri-Peri pepper or, as sometimes known, the Bird’s Eye chile pepper.

Thank you,

Rachel

 

A: Hello Rachael:

"Peri-Peri" is the Swahili generic term for peppers, and they can be anything.  The Bird’s Eye is a small, erect-podded African chile that is hard to find commercially in the U.S.  There’s not much flavor to them, as they are mostly heat.  A good substitute for manufacturing is the piquin, which is easier to find in bulk.  You can order them from:
