Bringing heat to the kitchen

Chillies or chilli peppers are members of the nightshade family and are known for the heat they impart to foods and drinks.

With the sheer variety of chillies available, they range from mild, almost sweet, to sometimes too hot to handle! The heat of chillies is measured on the Scoville scale, where 0 is sweet and 80,000 and over is representative of the extremely hot habanero and scotch bonnet chillies.

Whilst normally associated with hot curries, chillies can be used in sweet dishes too, adding a layer of complexity to the flavour. Have you ever tried chilli chocolate or chilli ice cream?

Bird’s Eye Chillies
The fiery flavour of our high-quality bird’s eye chilli makes it perfect for using in Thai curries.

Finger Chillies
Fresh finger chillies are hotter than jalapeños and impart a vibrant citrus flavour to your dishes. Give them a try!

Jalapeño Chillies
A medium-sized chilli, jalapeño has a milder flavour means you can use it in salads, salsas and pickles or use it to create moderately-hot stews and curries.

Green Chillies
Our high-quality green chillies are actually chilli peppers that haven’t matured completely so are often hotter than their red counterpart.

Mixed Chillies
Our bags of mixed chillies give you a mix of red and green chillies to add heat and colour to your dish.

Red Chillies
These vibrant jewel-like chillies can add heat as well as colour to your dishes and drinks.

Scotch Bonnet
The scotch bonnet chilli is related to the habanero, making it one of the hottest chillies you can have.

Like finger chillies, rocket chillies are thin and long, while also being quite hot. Perfect for curries and cocktails with a kick.

Thai Chillies
Thai chillies are hot so can help your curries pack a punch!
