Bird's eye chili is a small, fiery pepper commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine. Known for its intense heat, it typically measures between 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units, making it significantly hotter than many other chili varieties. These tiny red or green peppers are often used fresh, dried, or in sauces to add spice to dishes. In addition to their heat, bird's eye chilies are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants. They are frequently found in dishes like Thai curry, sambal, and various stir-fries, enhancing flavors while providing a spicy kick.
