The KS White Thai is a distinct and ornamental variety within the Thai family, popularized by grower Khang Starr. It is admired not only for its heat but also for its beauty and versatility, standing out from common Thai peppers due to its unique color and flavor.
Strong Heat: Reaching an average of 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Units (SHU). It is more potent than a Jalapeño but more manageable than a Habanero.
Texture and Flavor: Unlike many Thai peppers, it has a thick, crunchy, and juicy wall. The flavor is earthy, fresh, and slightly fruity, offering a "clean" heat that doesn’t overpower other ingredients.
Vibrant Colors: It transitions from pale green to an immaculate creamy white, and can pass through shades of purple and orange before ripening to bright red. Ideal for fresh consumption in salads, Thai curries, and gourmet hot sauces.
KS White Thai - SHU 100,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
