Red Thai Chile Peppers are prevalent in eastern Asian cuisines. These chiles are full of heat and authentic flavor. The Red Thai Chile Peppers, ground to a fine powder, quickly impart a vibrant red hue and intense, lingering heat. The Red Thai Chile peppers are medium to hot, measuring approximately 40,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Use the Red Thai Chile powder in homemade marinades for chicken, carrots, cabbage, or green papaya, sprinkle it onto sweet potatoes, or use it in curries and stir-fries for authentic Thai flavor.
Aji Amarillo Chile Peppers have a raisin aroma and a fruity taste. The pepper's heat measures 30,000-50,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units). The fruity flavor has a slight mango or passion fruit taste. The pepper differs from other chiles as it is less sharp and has a more subtle flavor profile. Use Aji Amarillos with root vegetables, seafood dishes, rice, salsas, and sauces. Add them to stews for a surprising and unexpected flavor.
Wiri Wiri Chile Peppers are bright red and have an earthy, fruity, tangy flavor and exceptional heat. These ground peppers come in a convenient powder for 100% pure flavor. The Wiri Wiri Chile powder measures 150,000 to 300,000 Scoville Heat Units. Use the chile powder in Caribbean-style cooking, hot sauces, extra-spicy salsas, and marinades, and add heat to soups and stews.
Habanero Chile Peppers are intensely spicy, with papaya, coconut, and berry notes. Habaneros measure 100,000-350,000 Scoville Heat Units, which is incredibly spicy. Use in spice blends and rubs, marinades, dressings, salsas, grilled meats, vegetables, chili, soup, stew, and even fruits.

History and growing traditions
This assortment illustrates how chiles from the Americas spread and developed distinct regional cooking traditions. Ají Amarillo is associated with Peru's coast; Wiri Wiri is grown in Guyana; habanero has a strong cultivation tradition on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Chile peppers reached Asia through historical trade, and Thai cooks developed their own uses for hot chiles. The peppers in this set are ground, so they season dishes directly without the soaking step used for whole dried pods.
This history describes the pepper varieties, not the verified growing origin of this pack's contents.
