From the Capsicum frutescens species, the Birdseye is actually a close relative of the fiery hot tabasco chile. For hundreds of years it has been grown in the African wild but in more recent times it has also been commercially harvested in Australia, Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Birdseye Chile, specifically the variety from Uganda, is believed by many to be the hottest chile that is not a member of the legendary C. Chinense species and will come in at 100,000-225,000 on the Scoville Heat scale. Due to these potent heat levels most of these African chiles are harvested and processed for commercial use as a pepper extract. There are approximately 350 chiles per ounce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBirdseye Chiles have a clean flavor but lack the complexity of some of the more popular chiles. With undertones of dry hay they have a nice bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelpful Hint: Use great caution when handling these peppers because of their heat, be sure to wash your hands and do not rub your eyes or nose. Commonly used in soups, stews, chicken dishes and hot sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe consider the African Birdseye Chile to be a crazy hot chile!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spices Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30035306807371,"sku":"044147891473","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/0806\/1760\/products\/4b1ac8e2ba0ab918a6362b3932337ad6.jpg?v=1638038936","url":"https:\/\/thiseasonedgourmet.com\/products\/african-birdseye-chiles-dried-ounce","provider":"The Seasoned Gourmet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
