What sets it apart is its enchanting fruity-floral flavour, a delightful twist that elevates any dish. Not too fiery, the Chiang Rai chilli boasts a moderate heat level of around 5,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), ensuring an enjoyable spiciness without overwhelming intensity.

In the heart of Thai cuisine, it's a culinary essential, especially in spicier and hotter dishes. The classic 10-13 cm pods showcase the quintessential traits of Thai chillies, making them a staple in the region's culinary traditions.

You can cultivate your own Chiang Rai chillies. These hardy plants grow like rockets, tolerating a fair bit of mistreatment and still yielding a massive crop. The mild to medium heat makes them perfect for chopping into Thai dishes, adding fresh flavour and a gentle heat without overpowering your taste buds.

In my own growing experience, these plants are robust and resilient, requiring minimal fuss for a bountiful harvest. The quick 60-day harvesting period from transplanting is a rewarding journey from garden to table.
