AAA - Red Ghost Chili Pepper Mash

Magic Plant Red Ghost Chili Pepper Mash

The Legendary Bhut Jolokia—Intense Heat with a Deep, Smoky Undertone.

Overview

Our natural Ghost Chili (Bhut Jolokia) packs a powerful heat at 850,000 to 1,000,000 (SHUs). Our Ghost peppers have the classic "creeper heat." The burn intensifies with time. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and earthy flavor! Our Red Ghost ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented mash 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 Chili is a natural interspecific hybrid from Northern India, famously known as the first pepper to exceed 1 million SHUs. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Ghost Chili peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, tear-drop shape, a somewhat dented or "ghostly" skin texture, and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their long, tapering body, giving them a haunting and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Ghost Chillies are known to be a legend in the spicy food world! 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 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 sweet flavor of the Ghost Chili without the overwhelming heat.
