Thai Chili Peppers, often called Bird's Eye chilies, boast a vibrant red or green hue and an elongated, slender shape. These diminutive yet fiery peppers punch well above their weight, delivering an intensely spicy kick characteristic of many Thai and Southeast Asian dishes. Averaging just 1 to 2 inches in length, their small size belies the explosive heat they bring to salsas, marinades, stir-fries, and curries. Beyond the heat, they impart a subtle fruity undertone, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the culinary creations they grace. Typically used fresh, minced, or sliced, Thai Chili Peppers can also be dried for a more concentrated heat. While adding zest to any recipe, they also provide vitamin C, boosting immunity and contributing to overall health.
