The Orange Thai chili pepper is one of many different varieties of Thai pepper, similar in heat to typical red Thai peppers, though unique for its vibrant orange color. These peppers have a fruity, subtly sweet flavor followed by an immediate heat that lingers on the palate. Pods average about 2” long and are less than a ¼” in width. They grow pointing up and are very prolific, each plant producing up to 200 fruits. Non-Isolated.
