The ghost pepper (aka the Bhut Jolokia) is one of the hottest peppers in the world, topping over 1 Million SHU (Scoville Heat Units). Because of their intense heat, but also because of their fruity flavor, ghost peppers are great for making hot sauces, for dehydrating into powders or chili flakes, or for chopping and cooking into larger meals, like pots of stew or pots of chili.Bhut Jolokia is still one of the hottest pepper in the world and if you compare its SHU to a Jalapeno chilli at a mere 2,000 5,000 SHU, it puts into perspective why the Indian Government is experimenting with using it in hand-grenades!
