Description:
Hailing from China and Southeast Asia, the Kilian Pepper is an early-maturing Cayenne variety that provides great flavor and a unique orange color that makes for some beautiful growing in your garden!
Grow these Kilian pepper plants and watch them produce bounties of these stringy pods that stretch up to 2-3" long. These peppers are incredibly skinny with smooth texture and thin skin. You'll see these peppers ripen from green to their bright orange color when they're ready to be harvested.
These tender Kilian peppers have a nice juicy flavor with a nice kick of heat that reaches levels up to 27,000 SHUs - on par with the likes of low-grade Thai peppers! Kilians lend themselves nicely to a wide variety of uses - whatever you can dream up, they make a great addition. Try adding them fresh to salads, cook them in with stir-fries and soups, or grind their thin skins up into a fresh chili powder!
