Description:
Introducing the Kung Pao Pepper, a staple in Asian, Thai, and Sichuan cuisines known for being a less-spicy alternative to Cayenne and Thai peppers. What attracts people to this pepper is its amazing combination of mild heat and spicy flavor.
The Kung Pao pepper plant is a high yielder that grows up to 3 ft. tall, producing long, skinny pods growing to 4-6" long. The plant will have green leaves with white flowers blooming, which will be the talk of the show for your garden.
Its flavors are impressive with its earthy, slightly smoky flavors. The Kung Pao pepper is the perfect pepper for drying and making the famous Kung Pao chicken. This is irreplaceable in Chinese and Asian-type dishes - once you use it, it's hard to go back to anything else! Use it for stir-fries, frying, grilling, and drying into a nice chili powder! This is definitely a gardener's favorite!
*Non-Isolated - Disclaimer: While some of our varieties marked non-isolated were isolated when grown, they are an unstable pepper seed variety that may produce plants with genetic variations, making them less predictable and consistent in terms of traits such as flavor, size, and heat level. While this can lead to unique and exciting variations, it's important to note that these seeds may not reliably reproduce the same characteristics from one generation to the next. Planting non-isolated/unstable pepper seeds can be an adventurous gardening experience, but be prepared for some degree of variability in the resulting pepper plants. We will not be able to offer replacements for variation in traits.
