Bhut Jolokia Ghost Pepper is a legendary traditional pepper from the Assam region of India and one of the hottest chilies in the world, with a staggering 855,000–1,463,000 Scoville heat units that demands serious respect. Beyond the extraordinary heat, the wrinkled, elongated fruits have a complex, fruity flavor that makes them prized by hot sauce makers and chili enthusiasts who know how to coax out the depth behind the fire. Truly for the bold — handle with care and enjoy with caution.
