Description
The Thai Yellow is a golden-ripening variant of Thailand's iconic bird's eye chili producing small thin pods of 4-6 cm harvested at a sunny yellow stage. With 50,000-100,000 SHU it has the same intense heat as its red counterpart with a slightly fruitier sweeter flavor profile. It adds vibrant color to Thai sauces curries and pickled condiments and is prized for decorative use in cuisine presentation.
