Description:
A rare gem among the Thai pepper family, the Purple Thai pepper is superior for its blend of flavor and heat, making it a sought-after ingredient in many Asian dishes.
Purple Thai peppers are about 3 to 4 inches in length and transform from purple to a bright orangish-red as they mature. These hot peppers are a joy to grow, flourishing in containers on balconies, patios, or decks. Purple Thai plants make an amazing addition to any garden. They grow and ripen early and produce fruit all season.
Ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units, Purple Thai peppers offer a spicy kick that's hotter than a Cayenne pepper but gentler than a Habanero. This variety finds its way into a variety of Thai and Asian dishes, as well as a few products like pepper flakes, hot sauces, and marinades.
