Description

Bird's Eye Chile — also known as Peri-Peri or Piri Piri — is one of the most celebrated chiles in African and Portuguese cuisine. Small, fiery, and intensely aromatic, the Bird's Eye Chile delivers a clean, bright heat that builds quickly and lingers with a fruity, slightly tangy finish. Trader Joe's Bird's Eye Chile Hot Sauce captures that heat in a simple, clean bottle: pickled Bird's Eye Chile peppers, distilled white vinegar, diced onion, cane sugar, sunflower oil, salt, garlic, and xanthan gum. Nothing artificial, nothing unnecessary.

The flavor profile is bright and vinegar-forward with a fruity, building heat from the pickled Bird's Eye Chiles. The diced onion and garlic add savory depth, and the touch of cane sugar rounds out the acidity. At 0 calories per 1 tsp serving and 30 mg of sodium, this is a virtually calorie-free way to add serious heat and flavor to any dish. The 4.22 fl oz bottle yields 25 servings.

Use it as a table hot sauce, a marinade base, a dipping sauce, or a finishing drizzle over grilled meats, seafood, eggs, or vegetables. It is the authentic Peri-Peri experience in a Trader Joe's bottle, sourced from South Africa.

HIOOL GOODS sources this directly from Trader Joe's U.S. stores, packs it carefully, and ships it to your door across the U.S. and Canada — South African heat, delivered.
