AAA - Smoked Red Ghost Chili Pepper Puree

Magic Plant Smoked Red Ghost Chili Pepper Puree

Legendary Ghost Heat—Deeply Smoked and Fermented for Maximum Flavor.

Overview

Our natural Smoked Red Ghost Chili Puree packs a legendary heat at 850,000 to 1,000,000 (SHUs). Also known as the Bhut Jolokia, these ghost peppers have the classic "creeper heat" where the burn intensifies with time. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and earthy flavor! Our Smoked Red Ghost ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented purees are insanely 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 held the world record for heat until 2011 and remains a favorite for its balance of fire and flavor. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Ghost peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, tear-shaped skin and a vibrant red color. Our smoked version undergoes a meticulous wood-smoking process before being fermented into a smooth, potent puree that captures the essence of the "Ghost."

The Experience

Ghost Peppers are legendary in the spicy food community! 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 complex smoky flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' ghost peppers. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This puree 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 puree 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 (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the smoky flavor of the Ghost Pepper without the overwhelming heat.

• BBQ Sauces: The fermented puree is a perfect base for "Ghost BBQ" sauces, adding a deep, wood-smoked complexity and a fiery kick.
• Smoky Hot Sauces: Smoked Ghost puree is the gold standard for creating hot sauces that require both a high heat level and an earthy, charred aroma.
• Marinades and Rubs: Incorporate a small amount of smoked puree into wet marinades for ribs, brisket, or chicken to infuse them with intense smoky heat.
• Spicy Aioli: Whisk a teaspoon of smoked puree into mayonnaise or garlic aioli to give burgers and sandwiches a fiery, smoked twist.
• Chilis and Stews: Enhance the depth of a beef chili or smoky bean stew by folding in a small amount of Smoked Red Ghost puree.
