Thai Giant

Thai Giant is a named Capsicum annuum chilli sold as a Thai type pepper with thicker flesh than typical Thai chillies. Catalogue descriptions highlight that it has significantly more flesh than many standard Thai varieties, which is used as a defining marketing trait for this line.

Plants typically reach about 30.5 to 45.5 centimetres in height. Pods are usually 4.0 to 5.0 centimetres long and 13 to 19 millimetres wide, ripening from green to red. Orientation is described as upright to slightly pendant. Season is commonly listed as midseason, around 70 to 80 days after transplanting.

It is marketed for stir fries and general cooking use where a slightly meatier Thai style chilli is desirable.

Heat descriptions are inconsistent across sources. Some catalogues describe it as very hot, while others label it medium. No lab tested SHU value is published for this specific cultivar. A single value of 30000 SHU is used here as a conservative midpoint estimate consistent with common hot Thai type peppers rather than a confirmed measurement.
