Ghost

Fiery • Fruity • Intense Heat

One of the World’s Hottest Chiles

Ghost pepper, also known as Bhut Jolokia, is one of the hottest chiles in the world, recognized for its extreme pungency and lingering heat. With a heat level that surpasses most chiles, Ghost pepper is prized by adventurous consumers and manufacturers looking for bold, high-impact spice.

Beyond its searing heat, Ghost pepper also carries subtle fruity notes, giving it complexity that pairs well with both savory and sweet ingredients when used carefully.
