Uses
The 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.
