Fresh Bhut Jolokia Chillies (5 fruits)
The Bhut Jolokia was the first chilli to be measured at over 1 million Scoville units - the first of the 'super' chillies. At that heat rating, they are 4 times hotter than the average Habanero or Scotch Bonnet. As well as a fierce heat, they also have a very distinctive fruity taste. The heat does not explode straight away but builds slowly to a great intensity which lingers for longer than usual.
