Chiles, Miniature Thai
This miniature variety of cayenne is enjoyed by the Thai nation. Known as Priki nu, in their homeland, they are used more for their heat than their flavor. Thai chiles rate at about an 8-9 on a heat scale of 1-10. Cuisine from Thailand has a certain complexity that revolves around rice, coconut, lemon grass, galangal and cilantro, but these chiles are the accents that are essential to any true Thai dish.
