The Ghost Chili, also known as Bhut Jolokia (Capsicum Chinense) in its dried whole pod form, packs a fiery punch with a staggering 1,000,000 Scoville units of heat, earning its place among the "Superhots." Recognized in 2007 by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "Hottest Pepper in the World," this pepper boasts a distinct red hue and possesses a rough, thin skin. Originating from India and Bangladesh, its growth cycle spans around 120 days.
Optimal germination occurs when the growing medium is maintained at a temperature between 78-88 degrees F, expediting the sprouting process. However, germination might lag if the conditions differ. Intriguingly, in India, Bhut Jolokia is applied to fences to deter Elephants.
Beyond its culinary usage, the potent oleoresin derived from this pepper finds application in products like hand grenades and pepper spray. The plants themselves are notably large in size.
