In 2009, scientists in India suggested the peppers could be utilized as weapons The class of compounds causing pungency in plants such as chili peppers is called capsaicinoids, which display a linear correlation between concentration and Scoville scale, and may vary in content during ripening. [40] Capsaicin is the major capsaicinoid in chili peppers. [5] If you've followed the steps this far, you're onto a winner. Your ghost pepper plants will continue to flourish in the sun and warmth.

It seems those elephants know something maybe we humans don’t because the Bhut Jolokia has attracted a lot of attention among us with its fabulous heat. It held the crown with the Guinness Book of World Records, until it was beaten by the intense Butch T Scorpion for the official title and then by the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the unofficial overall heat winner. Both of those were taken over in 2013 by the Carolina Reaper. Approximately 3-4 weeks after sprouting, you will move your plants to another soil medium. Don’t overthink which soil to get for growing your ghost peppers. We recommend a loamy, well-draining organic potting soil. Once your pepper plants are in their new pots or beds, it's a case of maintaining them. The same rules apply to plants as much as seedlings. Keep the soil moist, and feel free to use some tomato/pepper feed to really give them a boost of nutrients at the right moments. You may also wish to stake them so they can continue to grow in the right direction, especially in settings where there might be a little wind. Of course, that all disappears once the heat builds (and lasts). At the end, the predominant take-away will be very painful spiciness that can last for 15 minutes or more. Are ghost peppers healthy? The Red Ghost Pepper has a sweet flavor that is both refreshing and frightening. Red ghost chile (also known as Sonoran ghost chile or Sonoran ghost chile) requires between 2.5 and 3.5 inches (6.35 and 8.25 cm) of growth space. Pods with long, pendant-shaped shapes typically have a rough texture. Red bhuts, unlike green chilies, begin to turn red at the same time. The ghost chilli is one of the hottest peppers in the world.

Pineapple Ghost Chili Sauce: This hot sauce adds some sweetness from pineapple to counteract the blast of heat from the ghost peppers. A ghost pepper (Bhut Jolokia) is a hot chili pepper that is widely used in traditional cuisines around the world, particularly in India and South Asia. It is known for its unique fruity and slightly sweet flavor, as well as its intense heat, with an average Scoville rating of around 1 million units. There is a flavor beyond the extreme spiciness, believe it or not. This chili has a slow-building heat, so you experience the flavor (for at least a few seconds) before the hammer drops. They have a sweet, fruity flavor typical of many super-hot peppers, but underneath it is a light smokiness as well. Let’s frame the ghost pepper against our jalapeñoreference point. Many people feel thejalapeñois rather hot, but in the world of the Scoville scale, it’s a relatively mild to medium chili pepper (2,500 to 8,000 Scoville heat units or SHU). Now multiply the jalapeños heat by up to 400. That’s the potential of ghost pepper (855,000 to 1,041,427 SHU.) No, ghost peppers are a naturally occurring cultivar of the Capsicum chinense species and are not genetically modified.

There are several different types of ghost peppers, each with their own unique characteristics. Here are some of the most popular types of ghost peppers: Germination is your first step. Whether you're starting in small seedling pots of your choice or using the Smart Start, place your seeds into the pots and bury them roughly an inch (~5cm) into the moist soil. From this point, it can take around 35 days for any progress to be made. Just be vigilant about keeping the pots in a warm place, and make sure they have plenty of water to stop them from drying out.You can!

Interlab variation [for the original Scoville scale] could be as high as +/−50%. However, labs that run these procedures could generate reasonably repeatable results.

Any pepper type with ≥ 1 SHU could be considered spicy. However, for this study, paprika (0–300 SHU), New Mexico long green or red chile (300–500 SHU), and poblano/ancho (≈1369 SHU) types were included as mild spicy peppers (Table 1). It is important to note that the production of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is highly regulated in many countries, including the United States, where the use of genetically modified crops is subject to stringent oversight by government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As of now, there are no commercially available GMO varieties of ghost peppers. Frequently Asked Questions An alternative method, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), can be used to analytically quantify the capsaicinoid content as an indicator of pungency.
