Birds Eye Chili is one of the hottest chili varieties of the world, scoring around 100,000 on the Scoville scale. The 2-3cm chilies have a lot to offer - for comparison, the famous Tabasco sauce has a score of between 3,000 and 5,000 on the Scoville scale. In addition to its wonderfully fruity flavor, this delicious chili has an inhumane spiciness that gives almost any dish that extra kick. Use this type of chili for chili con carne, chili sauces for Asian dishes or to give a special dessert a fancy touch. Do not be fooled by the size of the pods, the Birds Eye Chillies are VERY SPICY. Caution: Use extreme caution with the chilies and be very careful about the amount you ingest. The spiciness of the active ingredient in chili, capsaicin, is said to have a stimulating effect of circulation and also on digestive properties.
