About the Thai Dragon Pepper

Thai Dragon is a Capsicum annuum variety valued for its upright-growing pods, prolific harvests, and strong heat. Plants remain relatively compact, typically growing around 2 feet tall, but can produce hundreds of slender peppers over the growing season.

Peppers usually grow 2–4 inches long, forming clusters of upward-facing pods. While similar in appearance to cayenne peppers, Thai Dragons are significantly hotter and deliver a bright, spicy heat with subtle fruity notes.

• Heat Level: Hot (significantly hotter than cayenne)

• Flavor: Spicy, slightly fruity, and bold

• Pepper Appearance: Slender red pods growing upright in clusters

• Culinary Use: Drying, chili powder, flakes, stir-fries, sauces, and fresh use
