Capsicum Annuum

One of the most widely used chillies in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, the Thai Birdseye is small but spicy and belongs in the veggie patch of all chefs and home cooks alike.

It may produce pods smaller than the iconic Thai Birdseye, but the Birdseye Baby packs the same powerful chilli punch and delivers the same fresh crisp taste.

Similar to the standard Thai Birdseye, but longer and fatter - perfect for the gardener that believes the age old adage 'size matters'.

The Cayenne Green is a prolific chilli, milder than its red, yellow and lilac counterparts. Fresh tasting, they are commonly used in their fresh state.

A striking plant that produces pretty purple leaves, flowers and pods, the Cayenne Lilac will brighten up every veggie patch.

As the name suggests, this plant produces thicker pods than the traditional thin cayennes, but is identical in every other way!

The Cayenne chilli is prolific, grown all over the world and used in a variety of cuisines. When an ingredient panel lists 'red chilli', it's likely to contain the cayenne.

The golden cousin of the prolific Cayenne Red, this beautiful chilli matures to a bright yellow and has a slightly sweeter tang than it's red counterpart.

The Thai Orange chilli is a key ingredient in yellow Thai curries. One of these plants produce hundreds of erect growing spicy pods.

Widely used chillies in Thai cuisine, and also the smallest, these chillies are the size of mouse droppings (maybe that's why the name translates to mouse sh*t chilli!) but pack a punch at 100000 SHU.
