Bhut Jolokia Chili I coarsely ground | 1-3mm |

The Bhut Jolokia Chili (also known as Naga Jolokia) originates from the Indian state of Assam and is a cultivated form of the pepper species Capsicum Chinense. The fruits are about 5-7 cm long and about 1 cm thick. The surface is slightly wavy. Fruits ripen from green to red, occasionally there are also orange specimens. In North Indian cuisine, the Bhut Jolokia is appreciated for its infernal spiciness and above all for its aroma reminiscent of apricots and mango. Also in the traditional Indian medicine this chili is occasionally used for asthmatic diseases, complaints of the digestive tract and muscular diseases. Because of its special and extreme sharpness this variety is an absolute ¨must have¨ for true chili enthusiasts. For a long time the Bhut Jolokia (translated = ghost chili) was regarded as the hottest chili in the world. Here a very careful handling applies, why this should be dosed only in smallest quantities. This spice does not belong in the hands of children. For friends of extreme sharpness the Bhut Jolokia is the ultimate.
