A large fruited Thai hot pepper that resembles a fat, thick-walled cayenne with smooth shiny skin. Nice large 6″ long fruit enable fast harvest. This type of pepper is often used when still green and underripe, when medium hot peppers are desired in recipes such as green curry paste, chili dipping sauces, peanut satay sauce and Thai stir fry. Once ripe and red, Prik Chi Faa also dries well, making a delicious chili powder. Early pinching will produce a bushy 8" plant that can be pulled, roots and all, and hung to dry for winter use or grown inside for ornamental and edible enjoyment. Harden off and plant outside after night time temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees. Grows well in the ground or in a container. 82 days to harvest.
