Smoked Red Ghost Fine Ground Chili Pepper, often referred to as Smoked Bhut Jolokia, is a popular chili pepper known for its extreme heat, smoky flavor, and versatility in various cuisines.
Origins: Bhut Jolokia, which means "Ghost Pepper" in Assamese, originated in the northeastern regions of India, particularly in the states of Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. It was traditionally cultivated and used in various regional dishes and has gained international fame for its extreme spiciness.
Bhut Jolokia is a naturally occurring chili pepper variety and not a hybrid. It belongs to the Capsicum chinense species and is closely related to other super-hot peppers like the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and Carolina Reaper.
Appearance: Bhut Jolokia peppers are usually elongated, with a thin, wrinkled skin. When fully ripe, they turn from green to vibrant red or even chocolate brown, depending on the variety.
Cuisines: Bhut Jolokia is used in various cuisines, primarily in India, but its popularity has spread globally.
- It's often used in Indian and Bangladeshi dishes, such as curries, pickles, and chutneys, to add intense heat and smokiness.
- In the Western world, it's used in hot sauces, salsas, and spice blends to create fiery and flavorful dishes.
Cooking Tips:
- Bhut Jolokia is exceptionally hot, with an average Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of around 1,000,000, although it can go even higher.
- When working with Bhut Jolokia or Smoked Red Ghost Fine Ground Chili Pepper, it's crucial to exercise caution. Wear gloves when handling it, avoid contact with your eyes, and use it sparingly in your recipes.
- Remember that a little goes a long way, so start with a small amount, and you can always adjust the heat level later.
Smoked Red Ghost Chili Pepper is one of the hottest peppers 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.

Too Hot?
Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes or ground Smoked Red 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 complex smoky flavors of the Smoked Red Ghost without the overwhelming heat.
