Bhut Jolokia is the Guiness Book of Records official worlds hottest chilli with a Scoville Rating of just over 1,000,000. Compare that to Jalapeno at a mere 2,000 - 5,000 SHU. It puts into perspective why the Indian Government is experimenting with using it in hand-grenades! It originates from the Assam region of Indian.
Bhut Jolokia has pods that measure 5-7.5cm long by 2.5cm wide and they ripen from light green to orange to red. It grows to about 90cm tall.
As the saying goes - all good things come to those who wait and unfortunately Bhut Jolokia is quite difficult & temperamental to germinate & may take up to 40 days so care is needed to ensure the seed does not rot before germination.
Handle with extreme caution & keep out of reach of children!!
