AAA - Smoked Red Ghost Chili Pepper Powder

Magic Plant Smoked Red Ghost Chili Pepper Powder

A Hauntingly Delicious Burn—Extreme Heat with a Rich, Savory Smoke.

Overview

Our natural Smoked Red Ghost Pepper packs a powerful heat at 855,000 to 1,041,427 (SHUs). Ghost Peppers are famous for their "creeper heat." The burn doesn't hit instantly; it intensifies over several minutes. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet and earthy flavor! Our Smoked Ghost Pepper ground powder, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are intensely hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat intensifies after eating, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Ghost Pepper, or Bhut Jolokia, originated in Northeast India and was the first pepper to officially break the 1 million Scoville mark. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Ghost Peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, wrinkled skin and an elongated shape. Our smoking process transforms these vibrant red pods into a deep, dark crimson powder that carries a heavy, aromatic wood-smoke scent, making it a favorite in the global chili community.

The Experience

Ghost Peppers were once the world's hottest pepper and remain a benchmark for "Super Hots." So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the smoky, complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Ghost Peppers. Use our premium quality Smoked Red Ghost Chili products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This powder is perfect in small doses for a specific smoky kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our Smoked Red Ghost Pepper powder with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento, or Peppadew Peppers). This will still give you the savory, smoky flavor of the Ghost Pepper without the overwhelming intensity of the burn.
