Description
The Chilli Ethiopian Brown, also known as Ethiopian Brown Berbere or Ethiopian Brown Pepper, typically falls within the medium to hot range on the Scoville scale. Its heat level can vary but generally ranges from about 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This places it in the same heat category as peppers like the Cayenne and Tabasco peppers.
Ethiopian Brown peppers are often used in traditional Ethiopian cuisine, especially in the famous berbere spice blend, which adds a rich and spicy flavor to dishes. The peppers not only provide heat but also contribute to the complex, earthy, and slightly smoky flavor profile of Ethiopian dishes.
