HOT! That’s also the third and fifth things you should know. Small 1\"-2\", tapered fruit grows on a compact bush and ripens through all the showy colors of a painted bunting, green to purple to orange to red. Pungent with fruity, tropical notes and a serious blast of heat. Use this little Thai chili to add fiery flair to everything from Asian stir fries to Indian curries to South African peri-peri sauce.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul
