AAA - Smoked Red Ghost Chili Pepper Whole Dried Pods

Magic Plant Smoked Red Ghost Chili Peppers Whole Dried Pods

Legendary Heat Meets Deep Smoke—Intense Fire with a Rich, Earthy Aroma.

Overview

Our natural Smoked Red Ghost Chili Peppers (Bhut Jolokia) pack a powerful heat at 800,000 to 1,001,304 (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 earthy flavor, now enhanced by our authentic smoking process! Our Smoked Ghost Pepper whole pods, crushed flakes, and ground powder 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 pepper to scientifically test over 1 million Scovilles, resulting in its legendary heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Ghost Peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, wrinkled skin and a vibrant red color. Our smoking process adds a dark, rustic hue and a deep, wood-fired fragrance, giving them a "primitive" and bold appearance.

The Experience

Ghost Peppers are known to be one of the world's most famous super-hots! 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, smoky flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' 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 smoky, 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 whole smoked pods or flakes 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 Pepper without the overwhelming heat.
