Overview

Our natural Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) packs a powerful heat at 855,000 to 1,041,427 (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 sweet and fruity flavor! Our Ghost Pepper 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 is an interspecific hybrid chili pepper cultivated in Northeast India, resulting in its extreme heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Ghost Peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, slightly wrinkled skin and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their elongated shape and tapered end, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Ghost Peppers were the first peppers to scientifically surpass 1 million Scovilles! 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 whole pods 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 fruity sweet flavor of the Ghost Pepper without the overwhelming heat.
