Magic Plant Green Ghost Chili Pepper Whole Dried Pods

The Legendary Bhut Jolokia—Intense Heat with a Bright, Earthy Profile.

Overview

Our natural Green Ghost Chili (Bhut Jolokia) packs a powerful heat at 850,000 to 1,041,427 (SHUs). These pods feature the classic "creeper heat" where the burn intensifies significantly with time. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex earthy and slightly tart 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 intensifies after eating so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Ghost Pepper was the first to break the 1 million Scoville mark, resulting in its legendary heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Green Ghost peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, slightly wrinkled skin and a vibrant green color. They are often characterized by their elongated shape and tapered end, giving them a classic "ghostly" appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Ghost Peppers 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 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 dry pods or ground Ghost peppers 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 earthy flavor of the Green Ghost Pepper without the overwhelming heat.
