Bird's eye chili

Bird's eye chili or Thai chili (Thai: พริกขี้หนู, romanized: prik ki nu, lit. 'mouse dung chili' owing to its shape) is a chili pepper, a variety from the species Capsicum annuum native to Mexico. Cultivated across Southeast Asia, it is used extensively in many Asian cuisines. It may be mistaken for a similar-looking chili derived from the species Capsicum frutescens, the cultivar "siling labuyo". Capsicum frutescens fruits are generally smaller and characteristically point upwards.
