Bhut Jolokia Chili dried 40g

40g dried whole Bhut Jolokia chillies for your delicious dishes.

Before new, hotter varieties overtook each other as the hottest chilli almost every year, the Bhut Jolokia (Bih Jolokia) variety was the frontrunner for a relatively long time (2007 - 2011). It originates from the Assam region in India and has been traditionally cultivated and used there for many years. Tests carried out by the Chile Pepper Institute in 2005 revealed a value of 1,001,304 SHU, making the Bhut Jolokia the first chilli variety to exceed the magic one million mark.

The dried Bhut Jolokia chilli is extremely hot and has the aroma of the Bhut Jolokia variety. The dried chillies are suitable for spicing up Asian dishes, especially Indian curries, meat and fish dishes. The intense flavour also harmonises perfectly with African and Caribbean cuisine.
