AAA - Red Thai Chili Pepper Puree

Magic Plant Red Thai Chili Pepper Puree

Authentic Asian Heat—Vibrant Spice with a Bright, Clean Finish.

Overview

Our natural Red Thai Chili packs a sharp and spirited heat at 50,000 to 100,000 (SHUs). Unlike the heavy "creeper heat" of larger peppers, the Thai Chili provides an immediate and bright burn. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex savory and slightly earthy flavor! Our Red Thai Chili ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented puree are significantly hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat hits quickly so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Red Thai Chili, also known as Bird's Eye Chili, is a staple of Southeast Asian cuisine, prized for its ability to add intense heat without overpowering other ingredients. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Thai Chili peppers have a distinctive appearance with a smooth, slender shape and a brilliant red color. They are often characterized by their small size and upright growth on the plant, giving them a "needle-like" or sharp appearance.

The Experience

Red Thai Chilis are known to be the backbone of spicy Eastern cooking! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Thai peppers. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in curries, stir-frys, soups, and dipping sauces. For those who love authentic heat, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our fermented puree with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the bright savory flavor of the Red Thai Chili without the overwhelming heat.
