Product Description
Thai Hot Pepper: Extremely hot variety originally from Thailand. Plants become covered with 1 inch long peppers that are green at first but ripen to red. Both colors appear on the plant at the same time making this variety ornamental as well as edible. Thin fleshed peppers are used especially in Oriental dishes.
HOT PEPPERS: When Wilbur Scoville first devised a means to test the heat of peppers, his hottest entry then came in at 20,000 units. Habanero and Thai chilies can go as high as 60,000. Compare that to the sweet bell pepper at zero. When hot peppers are consumed, capsaicinoids bind with pain receptors in the mouth and throat that are responsible for sensing heat. Once activated by the capsaicinoids, these receptors send a message to the brain that the person has consumed something hot. The brain responds to the burning sensation by raising the heart rate, increasing perspiration and release of endorphins. Hot peppers should be eaten with caution!

Great Product
Ordered 3 Thai Chili starter plants. They were packaged and wrapped snug and protected. The shipping box somehow was crushed on one side during the shipping process on the way to Texas. I was nervous but they did an amazing job wrapping and protecting the integrity of the plant. Only lost some leaves.
