The Yellow Bhut Jolokia (Capsicum chinense) is a color variant of the legendary Ghost Pepper. Originating from India, this super-hot pepper offers the same overwhelming intensity as its red sibling but with a brighter, more citrusy flavor profile. In 2007, the original Bhut Jolokia made history as the world's hottest pepper, surpassing 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
The Yellow Bhut Jolokia is firmly in the Nuclear category. Its heat builds gradually into an overwhelming presence. Handling Warning: Gloves are mandatory as it can cause skin burns.
The fruits are elongated and wrinkled, ripening to a vibrant golden yellow. Its flavor is sweet and fruity with fresh citrus notes. Ideal for light-colored hot sauces, oils, and powders where extreme heat and fruity flavor are desired.
