Chile de arbol
(Rat's tail chile, Bird's beak chile)
Chile de árbol is a Mexican hot pepper which can be fresh, dried, or ground into a powder. It is characterized by an intense, bright red color and a heat level between 15,000 and 30,000 on the Scoville scale. This chile pepper is often used in salsas, stir-fries, hot sauces, and soups.
Its name means tree chili in Spanish, referring to the woody stems which are useful when making dried wreaths.
