Thai Demon Chili – Compact, decorative and devilishly hot

Intense aroma and fiery spiciness

The Thai Demon Chili is a small but extremely hot variety that captivates with its intense, spicy aroma. It originates from Thailand and is known for its fiery heat, making it perfect for Asian cuisine. Whether fresh, dried, or used as a spice, its small, thin-walled pods add a piquant touch to curries, sauces, and stir-fries. A particularly practical feature: it can be easily stored in an air-dry place.

Cultivation and special features

The Thai Demon belongs to the Capsicum annuum species and grows compactly, reaching a height of approximately 30–50 cm. It produces numerous small, pointed fruits that ripen from green to red and usually grow upright on the plant. Its bushy growth and bright red fruits make it not only productive but also a decorative ornamental plant for balconies, patios, or gardens. Its short ripening time also makes it ideal for a quick harvest.
