The first 'Super' chilli! The Bhut Jolokia (A.k.a. Naga Jolokia or Ghost) was officially measured at over one million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) in 2006.
Being three times hotter than an Orange Habanero, our suggestion for cooking with these chillies is to use a small amount, very finely chopped. As a rough guide, try ¼ of a pod per person for a hot dish.

Disappointed. Bought 4 x sets of different seeds. All with same soil and same heat mat. Apaches were extremely successful, orange habenero were 50% successful but the bhut jolokia only 1/20 germinated. I'll try again but if it doesn't work a second time then clearly there is an issue!
