Justchili Organic Birdeye Chilli whole

The Birdseye chili originates from Africa and is a close relative of the Tabasco chili. In Africa, the plants are planted around fields in some regions as a protection against hungry elephants. Therefore, one should be cautious when dosing, as its 100,000 Scoville units can send fully grown pachyderms fleeing. The flavor is similar to that of other ancient chilis like Piquin and Tepin, being clear and aromatic. However, its heat comes on quickly and directly.
