What Are Ghost Chilies?
Ghost peppers (Bhut Jolokia) originated in Northeast India and were once certified as the world’s hottest chili pepper by the Guinness World Records. Though they’ve been surpassed by newer superhots like the Carolina Reaper, they remain a favorite among chili lovers for their intense heat and fruity, smoky flavor.
Heat Level & Scoville Rating

Scoville Heat Units (SHU): 800,000 – 1,041,427
