Capsicum annum

The ghost chile, bhut jolokia, is a naturally occurring hybrid from the Assam region of NE India and move over red savina, it’s now officially the hottest chile on record and Guiness is willing to back us up on that. Not only does it pack a wallop of heat, (up to twice that of habanero), it has a rich flavor profile to go along with it. Hints of tomato and fruit will come through if it is USED IN MODERATION. So far we’ve made ghost chile chili, sweet potato pie and brownies with cream cheese swirl and all got rave reviews.
