Today I would like to knew people what is exactly Bhut Jolokia.

Bhut Jolokia is one of the spicies chilli with SHU above 1 million.

Bhut Jolokia also known with other names such Ghost Pepper & Naga King Chilly.

The main benefits of this chilly is that it doesn’t effect any person of any any age and doesn’t have any side effects.

It can be found in India North East and the state Nagaland produce the best quality of Bhut Jolokia.

In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world’s hottest chili pepper, 170 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The ghost chili is rated at more than one million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). However, in the race to grow the hottest chili pepper, the ghost chili was superseded by the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper in 2011 and the Carolina Reaper in 2013.

In Nagaland, one of the regions of cultivation, the chili is called Naga jolokia (‘Naga chili’; also romanized nôga zôlôkia) and bhut jolokia (also romanized bhût zôlôkiya). This name is especially common in other regions where it is grown, such as Assam and Manipur. Other usages on the subcontinent are saga jolokia, ‘Indian mystery chili’ and ‘Indian rough chili’.

It has also been called the Tezpur chili after the Assamese city of Tezpur. In Manipur, the chili is called umorok or oo-morok (‘tree chili’).

In northeastern India, the bhut jolokia is also known as the “king chilli” or “king cobra chilli’”.

Ghost peppers are used as a food and a spice.It is used in both fresh and dried forms to “heat up” curries, pickles and chutneys. It is popularly used in combination with pork or dried or fermented fish. In northeastern India, the peppers are smeared on fences or incorporated in smoke bombs as a safety precaution to keep wild elephants at a distance. The pepper’s intense heat makes it a fixture in competitive chili-pepper eating.
