Bird’s eye chili, also known as bird eye chili or Thai chili, is a small chili pepper cultivar commonly found in Southeast Asia. It’s known for its fiery heat, measuring around 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) on the Scoville scale. These chilies are often used to add heat and flavor to various dishes, especially in Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, and other Southeast Asian cuisines. They are typically used fresh, dried, or in the form of chili paste or sauce. If you’re planning to use them in cooking, make sure to handle them carefully, as their heat can be quite intense!
