AAA - Green Ghost Chili Pepper Powder

Magic Plant Green Ghost Chili Pepper Powder

Rare Herbaceous Heat—Extreme Potency with a Bright, Crisp Profile.

Overview

Our natural Green Ghost Chili packs a powerful heat at approximately 1,000,000 (SHUs). Harvested before they reach full maturity, these "unripe" Bhut Jolokia peppers offer a more immediate, sharp sting compared to the matured red variety. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex herbaceous and crisp flavor! Our Green Ghost Chili ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is intense and biting, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Ghost Chili (Bhut Jolokia) was the first pepper to scientifically test at over 1 million SHUs, resulting in its legendary extreme heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Green Ghost Chili peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled, thin skin and a vibrant green color. They are often characterized by their elongated, tapered shape, giving them a menacing and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Ghost Chillies are world-famous for their staggering potency! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex green flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' ghost peppers. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our Green Ghost powder with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the crisp herbaceous flavor of the Green Ghost without the overwhelming heat.
