AAA - Red Ghost Chili Pepper Powder

Magic Plant Red Ghost Chili Pepper Powder

The Legendary Bhut Jolokia—Intense Heat with an Earthy, Smoky Profile.

Overview

Our natural Red Ghost Chili packs a powerful heat at 855,000 to 1,041,427 (SHUs). Our ghost peppers are famous for their unique, delayed burn that slowly builds to a staggering peak. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex earthy and slightly smoky flavor! Our Ghost Pepper ground powder, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are incredibly 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, or Bhut Jolokia, was the first pepper to scientifically test over 1 million SHUs, resulting in its legendary status among spice lovers. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Ghost peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, tear-shaped body and a rough, dented skin. They are often characterized by their vibrant red color and slightly shriveled look, giving them a "haunting" or ghostly presence in the chili community.

The Experience

Ghost Peppers are known to be one of the most famous super-hots in the 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 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 powder 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 Ghost Pepper without the overwhelming heat.
