Bhut Jolokia—“Ghost Pepper”—held the heat crown in the mid‑2000s, topping a million Scovilles. Wrinkled red pods carry a slow, building burn with fruity, smoky undertones. Use sparingly in hot sauces, curries, and infused oils (gloves on, ventilation up). Plants like real heat and full sun; drought stress can intensify the fire. Capsaicin isn’t just thrill seeking—it has antimicrobial and analgesic qualities. Start seeds very warm, stake lightly, and let fruits fully color before drying. Grow it for the legend, respect it in the kitchen.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
