But why stop at just one type of cabai when there’s a whole family to choose from? There’s so many different types of cabai, from the small and fiery bird’s eye cabai to the milder and larger bell pepper.
“Bird’s Eye Cabai: Tiny But Mighty”
Don’t be fooled by their small size, bird’s eye cabai is one of the spiciest types of cabai out there. It’s often used in Thai cuisine and can add a serious kick to any dish.
“Jalapeno: The Mild and Friendly Cabai”
If you’re looking for a milder cabai, look no further than the jalapeno. This popular cabai is often used in Mexican cuisine and has a mild to moderate heat level. Plus, it’s great for stuffing with cheese and baking for a tasty appetizer.
“Serrano Cabai: For Those Who Like A Little Heat”
The serrano cabai is a perfect balance of heat and flavor. It’s often used in salsas and sauces and has a heat level similar to a jalapeno, but with a slightly sweeter taste.
“Habanero: Proceed With Caution”
If you’re a daredevil when it comes to spicy food, then the habanero is for you. This cabai is not for the faint of heart and has a heat level that can reach up to 350,000 Scoville units (for reference, a jalapeno ranges from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville units). Proceed with caution when using this cabai, and be sure to have a glass of milk handy.
“Bell Pepper: The Mild-Mannered Cabai”
And finally, for those who want all the flavor of cabai without any of the spice, there’s the bell pepper. This cabai has a mild, sweet taste and is often used in salads or stir-frys.
