bird's eye chillies
- Bird's eye chillies have a strength of 100,000 - 225,000 Scotville units depending on how they have been grown.
- This puts them into the same hotness range as some very hot chillies for example the Habanero (Capsicum chinense Jacquin) or the Scotch bonnet (Capsicum chinense)
- However the Bird's eye chilli is small and only one or two are typically used in any raw food recipe.
