Piri-Piri Sacana (Bird's Eye): The Clean Heat of Africa
The Piri-Piri Sacana (Capsicum frutescens), widely known as Bird's Eye, is the defining pepper of Lusophone African cuisine. Small but extremely potent, it is nicknamed "Sacana" due to its sharp, aggressive "bite" that instantly awakens the palate.
Intensity and Flavor Profile
Classified as Medium-High heat, it typically ranges from 50,000 to 175,000 SHU, reaching up to 200,000 SHU. Its flavor is fresh, clean, and slightly fruity. Unlike Habaneros, it has a more neutral profile, allowing the heat to shine while enhancing the base ingredients of the dish without overpowering them with exotic floral notes.
Shape and Culinary Use
The fruits are small, thin, and pointed (2-3 cm), ripening to a vibrant red. It is the soul of the classic Portuguese Piri-Piri Sauce and is essential for Grilled Chicken (Churrasco). Ideal for seasoning stews, seafood rice, and traditionally used to infuse spicy olive oils and vinegars.
Piri-piri Sacana (Bird's Eye) - SHU 200,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
