GHOST PEPPERS The Ghost Chile Pepper (also known as Bhut Jolokia or Naga Jolokia) is one of the world's hottest chile peppers. Watch out for this one! An HPLC analysis has tested the ghost chile at 1,041,427 Scoville heat units!!! Probably too hot to eat alone, a little bit will instantly heat up any sauce or mix you’re working on. The intensity of the Ghost Chile Pepper is so strong it creates a blistering hot and sometimes extremely painful sensation lasting up to 30 minutes or longer. Originating in the Assam region of northern India, the Bhut Jolokia is an interspecies hybrid that combines characteristics and genes from the Capsicum Frutescens and Capsicum Chinense Peppers. Typically, the Bhut Jolokia Pepper can be found naturally growing in only a few areas of the world, including India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Due to their popularity and extreme heat, there are many seed and plant starter kits available. However, the growing climate has a dramatic effect on the heat of the pepper. SCOTCH BONNET PEPPERS The scotch bonnet is the pepper of choice in the Caribbean. It's the most widely used hot pepper in the region's cuisine. Other hot peppers, such as cherry peppers (wiri wiri), bird peppers, habanero and pimento peppers are also readily available and used in various recipes, and Indian chili peppers can also be found in markets and supermarkets. But when someone talks about hot peppers in the Caribbean, particularly in the English-speaking Caribbean, they're almost certainly referring to the scotch bonnet pepper. You might see them labeled in stores and markets as "hot peppers" or "big peppers." Origin of Name Scotch bonnets got their name because of their appearance. They grow in an odd, flattened shape that resembles a tam or "Scotsman's bonnet." Depending on what area of the Caribbean you're visiting, these peppers may also be called "Bahama mamas" or "Jamaican hots." The bonnet connection can be a little off with some species of this pepper because they grow longer with less of a squashed appearance in some regions. What Does the Scotch Bonnet Taste Like? Scotch bonnets are hot peppers, very hot but they can have an almost sweet, vaguely fruity taste underlying the spice. This can vary somewhat from region to region, however, because it depends on the soil conditions to an extent in which they're grown. Scotch Bonnet Uses Scotch bonnet peppers are used to make the famous Caribbean or West Indian Pepper sauce is traditionally used as a condiment, as well as to season meat, fish, and poultry. The scotch bonnet is also used whole to impart flavor without the full impact of its heat. In some preparations, it's simply chopped or minced and added to the food in the early stages of cooking.
