Naga Bhut Jolokia: The Legendary Ghost Pepper
The Naga Bhut Jolokia, globally known as the Ghost Pepper, is a living legend in the super hot universe. Native to Northeast India, it was the first pepper to break the 1 million SHU barrier.
Record and Intensity
The name "Bhut Jolokia" translates to "ghost pepper", a name that captures its nature: the intense heat sets in insidiously and lasts long. In 2007, it reached over 1,300,000 Scoville Units (SHU). Although surpassed, it remains a nuclear pepper staple.
Flavor, Shape and Use
Bhut Jolokia offers a sweet and fruity profile with a slightly smoky aftertaste. The fruits are intense red and deeply wrinkled. It is a classic choice for Indian sauces and chutneys, but should be used with great moderation.
Curiosities and Precautions
Its potency is such that it has been used in India for smoke grenades. Handling this pepper requires extreme caution: gloves are recommended, and avoid inhaling its dust due to extreme capsaicin levels.
Naga Bhut Jolokia - SHU 1,304,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
