DescriptionThe Bhut Jolokia Red, famously known as the Ghost Pepper, is the legendary Indian superhot that first broke the 1 million Scoville barrier and previously held the Guinness World Record. These wrinkled, elongated pods ripen from green through orange to deep red with a slow-building, devastating heat and a complex smoky, slightly fruity flavor.

Essential for extreme hot sauces, pepper powders, and spicy dishes. Use sparingly and with respect. Pairs well with garlic, vinegar, tropical fruits, and rich meats.
