Dried Bhut Jolokia Chilli

The Bhut Jolokia (Capsicum chinense), commonly known as the Ghost Pepper or Naga Chilli, is one of the world’s most intensely hot chili peppers, originating from Northeast India (Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur). We offer the whole, dried fruit, which is ideal for maximum flavor and extreme heat applications.

With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating that can exceed 1,000,000 SHU, a very small amount is sufficient to dramatically increase the heat level of any dish. The whole, dried pepper retains its unique, intense heat and a subtle, smoky, and fruity flavor profile.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

Handling and Safety (Crucial)

The capsaicin oil in Bhut Jolokia is extremely potent. Extreme caution must be taken when handling this product:

• Gloves Required: Always use gloves when handling whole or crushed peppers.
• Avoid Contact: Do not touch eyes, nose, or sensitive areas of the skin after handling.
• Use Sparingly: Even those accustomed to spicy food should start with a very small piece of the pepper. The heat is significantly released when the chilli is crushed or ground.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, out of the reach of children.

Drying Methods Available

We typically offer whole Bhut Jolokia dried using two primary methods, which affect the flavor profile:

1. Oven/Sun-Dried: Preserves the bright red color and the pure, fruity, intense heat.
2. Smoke-Dried: Imparts a rich, earthy, and smoky aroma alongside the extreme heat, often preferred for traditional preparations like chutneys.
