The siling haba fruit grows to between 5 and 7 in (13 and 18 cm) long, and is bright light green in color.[2] While of moderate spiciness, it is much milder and less hot than siling labuyo.[4] It is an ingredient commonly used in Philippine cuisine, spicing up dishes like sinigang, dinuguan, pinangat, kilawin, paksiw, and sisig.[2]
