Naga Bhut Jolokia Chili Powder (Ghost Pepper) 10g
Naga Bhut Jolokia Chili Powder, often called Ghost Pepper, is one of the most legendary chilies in the world. This variety made history as the first pepper to break the barrier of 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units, earning its fearsome reputation among chili enthusiasts worldwide.
Despite its intense heat, the Naga Jolokia offers a complex and surprisingly elegant flavor. Beneath the fire lies a subtle sweetness with notes of green apple and apricot, creating a unique balance of fruit and flame. This makes it more than just a challenge pepper; it is a refined ingredient that adds depth to every dish it touches.
Use it in curries, chicken dishes, spicy sauces, or marinades for a powerful kick, or dare to add a touch to pickled vegetables or dark chocolate desserts for a bold, unexpected twist. Just a pinch is enough to transform a meal into a fiery adventure.
The Naga Bhut Jolokia originated in India, where it is still cultivated in the humid regions of Assam and Nagaland. It is also the genetic ancestor of the infamous Carolina Reaper, which further underlines its status as an icon in the world of extreme spice.
Handle with care and use sparingly. A small amount delivers a slow-building, long-lasting heat that commands respect. For those who live for intensity, this chili powder is the pure essence of fire.
