Red Ghost Chili Mash 9 oz.

The Legendary Bhut Jolokia—Intense, Slow-Building Heat with a Smoky Profile.

Overview

Our natural Red Ghost Chili (Bhut Jolokia) packs a powerful heat at 855,000 to 1,041,427 (SHUs). Our ghost peppers are famous for their signature "slow-building burn" that starts gradually and lingers with great intensity. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and earthy flavor! Our Red Ghost Chili ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and 9 oz. fermented mash are exceptionally hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat builds steadily after eating, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Ghost Chili is an interspecific hybrid from Northeast India, once holding the record for the world's hottest pepper. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Ghost Chili peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, tear-drop shape and a slightly wrinkled, vibrant red skin. They are often characterized by their intense potency, making them a cornerstone of global "chilihead" culture.

The Experience

Ghost Chilis are known to be a legend in the spicy food community! 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 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 9 oz. fermented mash 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 smoky flavor of the Ghost Chili without the overwhelming heat.
