Ghost Chile Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) is an extremely hot variety known for its intense, lingering burn (often 800,000–1,000,000+ Scoville units) and a distinctive fruity, floral aroma . The small, wrinkled fruits ripen to bright red and have thin, bumpy skin. It is used very sparingly in hot sauces, chili powders, and extreme heat recipes. This variety is a challenging but rewarding choice for Utah because it requires a long, consistently hot season to fully ripen and develop its signature heat, but it can succeed in our intense summer heat with early transplants and protection.
