Dried African Bird’s Eye Chiles

African Bird’s Eye Chiles are typically between ½” and 1″ in length and taper to a blunt point. They make a big impact for such a little berry.  The African Bird’s Eye Chile, specifically the variety from Uganda, is believed by many to be the hottest chile that is not a member of the legendary Capsicum chinense species. Due to these potent heat levels, most of these African chiles are harvested and processed for commercial use as a pepper extract.  African Bird’s Eye Chiles are commonly used to make peri-peri sauce, a vinegar and lemon sauce that showcases the heat and flavor of this pepper. Vinegar loves these peppers.
