Description
The Thai Red is the classic red-ripening bird's eye chili of Thailand producing small thin pods of 4-7 cm harvested when vivid red. With 50,000-100,000 SHU it delivers intensely sharp clean heat with a slightly fruity undertone. It is the quintessential chili of Thai cuisine used in curries stir-fries nam prik dipping sauces and throughout Southeast Asian cooking both fresh and dried.
