BHUT JOLOKIA

The Bhut Jolokia chili has intense notes of red fruits and spice blends similar to Indian curry, with sweet smoky undertones. Therefore, it adapts very well to stewed meats and all exotic sauces used to season vegetable-based preparations and soups. Mixed with soy sauce, it becomes an inviting alternative to wasabi, reminiscent of its pungent smell, thus becoming a valid dip for sushi.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BHUT JOLOKIA CHILI
The Bhut Jolokia chili, with its 1,000,000 SHU, is considered one of the hottest varieties in the world and belongs to the Capsicum chinense species. Originating from Northeastern India and nearby Bangladesh, the fresh fruit has a rounded conical shape, 7cm long and 4cm wide. The young fruit is light green, and when it reaches maturity, it becomes a deep orange/red color due to its high carotenoid content. In the Assamese language, "bhut" means "ghost," hence the English name Ghost Chili. It is also known by other names such as Bih Jolokia (poisonous chili) or Naga Jolokia, where naga in Sanskrit refers to the cobra snake, probably because the heat it develops in the mouth strikes like a snake.
