Number of seeds

Originating from Thai culinary tradition, the Prik Chi Faa chili pepper is one of those elongated chilies that flavor dishes more than they set them on fire. In a kitchen garden, it offers a beautiful exotic touch without disrupting the harmony of the vegetable patch: its bright green foliage, its discreet flowering of small white blossoms, and its slender fruits that turn red when ripe create a light yet assertive presence.

In the vegetable garden, this chili pepper produces medium-sized, well-branched plants, suitable for both flowerbeds and large containers in a sunny spot. The staggered harvest follows the summer cycle until the first frosts, allowing you to pick green and then red fruits as needed. It's a variety well-suited to gardens in cool summer climates, as long as there is sufficient warmth and light, and it fits naturally into a respectful and diversified gardening approach.

Note: Requires warmth and full sun for good fruiting; sensitive to cold and frost.

The Prik Chi Faa chili is a Thai chili traditionally used in many stir-fries, soups, and sauces. Its elongated fruits, eaten green or red, can be sliced ​​into rounds, used whole to flavor broths, or added to curries and stews. They are well-suited to drying for later use or for making spice blends and chili pastes, typical of Southeast Asian cuisine.

Ripe red fruits can be transformed into condiments or incorporated into marinades; dried chilies can be stored in an airtight container, away from light.
