African Devil: The Wild Fire of Africa

The wild spiciness of Africa

The African Devil, also known as African Bird Eye, is a wild chili variety from Africa that is known for its intense spiciness and characteristic taste. As the main ingredient of the famous African Piri-Piri Hot Sauce, it offers an incomparable taste experience. This variety, which grows in the wild in Africa and was spread by birds, is now also grown commercially for sauce production.

Small but mighty!

With a height of 50 to 80 cm, the African Devil is comparable to the Tabasco plant, although slightly smaller. However, their fruits, which are reminiscent of Tabasco chilies in shape and size, are squatter. The small, upright growing fruits ripen from green to orange to red and are known for their extreme spiciness. Whether dried as a spice or fresh in hot, fruity sauces - the African Devil is a must for lovers of spicy cuisine.
