Description:
Good things come in small packages and this small, skinny, yellow, yet MIGHTY Thai pepper from Southeast Asia and China is no exception!
Grow these 2 ft. tall compact pepper plants that will produce high yields of these skinny pepper pods. Fruits measure out to be around 2-3" long, with a distorted conical shape, curling every which way out from the plant's foliage. Kristian peppers mature earlier than other similar varieties, ripeninig from green to bright yellow when they reach maturity.
Kristian peppers boast a nice, spicy flavor with heat levels reading around 76,000 SHUs. Use these guys for just about anything you can think of, although it’s important to note that the color gets a bit muddy if dried. They pair extremely well with their orange brother, the Kilian Pepper, in fresh foods like salads, salsas, and dressings.
