Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper)

Heat: Stupid Hot (1,000,000+ SHU)

120 Days. A legendary Capsicum chinense x frutescens cross from Northeast India, the Bhut Jolokia — or Ghost Pepper — was once the hottest chilli in the world and held the Guinness World Record from 2007 to 2010. At over 1,000,000 SHU the heat is extreme and long-lasting, yet beneath the burn lies a genuinely fruity, smoky character that makes it prized by hot sauce makers and serious chilli enthusiasts. Conical red pods measure 6–8 cm long and should be handled with care — gloves strongly recommended.

Plants reach around 1.2 metres and perform best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture throughout the season.

Harvest: Pick when pods are fully red for peak heat and flavour. Handle with care.
Flavour: Fruity and smoky before the burn sets in — handle with extreme care.
