Bhut or Bih
Jolokia,
botanically known as
Capsicum chinense jacquin, is extensively grown in the northeastern
region
of India, predominatly in the states of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur. It
is also known by other names such as Ghost pepper, Bih jolokia, Borbih
jolokia, Naga
jolokia, Nagahari, Naga Morich and Raja mirchi to name a few. We
can only speculate why the Assamese call it the "Ghost
Pepper", Bhut Jolokia.
Recently, the Bhut Jolokia chili pepper
was officially
recorded in the Guiness
Book of
World Records as Worlds Hottest Pepper
lab tested at 1,001,304
Scoville Heat Units.
Dried,
crushed and shipped
in double
sealed 40 gram packs of crushed
100% Bhut jolokia. More
than 1200 grams of fresh Bhut jolokia pepper are required to make just
100 grams of dried Bhut jolokia.
WARNING! We
recommend
that this
extremely hot
pepper be dispensed in a good quality pepper mill such as our Minimill or Maximill.
It is not
recommended that you spoon or causually shake this pepper on your
foods, the heat
is hard to control without a mill or grinder and you could quickly
learn the painful meaning of our company name.
