The Naga White pepper (also known as White Ghost or White Bhut Jolokia) is a rare and stunning variation of the Capsicum chinense family, the same as the Super Hot peppers. It is valued both for its distinct visual appearance and for its complex flavor profile that precedes a nuclear heat.
Heat Level (Nuclear): This pepper is at the top of the heat scale, in the Ultra Spicy group. The Naga White typically reaches between 800,000 to 1,000,000 Scoville Units (SHU), which places it in the same league as the famous Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper). Its heat is massive, penetrating, and long-lasting.
Distinct Flavor: Despite the extreme heat, this pepper is famous for its excellent flavor. It features sweet, intensely fruity, and tropical notes when consumed fresh. This profile allows it to be used to create sauces that offer a delicious flavor before the heat reaches its peak.
Shape and Color: The fruits are elongated, wrinkled, and hanging, characteristic of Nagas. Its color is what makes it unique: it matures from green to pale yellow, until it reaches a cream or almost pure white tone when fully mature. This pale color gives great ornamental value to the plant.
Culinary Use: Due to its extreme heat, it must be used with extreme moderation (handling with gloves is recommended). It is perfect for Artisanal Hot Sauces, where its fruity profile, combined with intense heat, is ideal for light-colored hot sauces. It can also be dried and ground to create a Super Hot Pepper Powder with a fruity touch and a unique light yellow color. Finally, it is excellent in oil infusions to add flavor and potency.
The Naga White is the ideal choice for collectors and spicy enthusiasts looking not only for an overwhelming heat experience, but also for a high-quality fruity flavor and a stunning color.
