Overview

Our natural Yellow Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) packs a powerful heat, typically averaging around 1,000,000 (SHUs).

So those few seconds prior to the burn—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex floral and fruity flavor! Our Yellow Ghost Pepper ground pepper, crushed flakes and dry whole pods are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is intense and long-lasting, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Yellow Ghost Pepper is a natural color variant of the famous Bhut Jolokia from Northeastern India, maintaining extreme heat with a unique aesthetic. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Yellow Ghost Peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin, wrinkled skin and a vibrant golden-yellow color. They are often characterized by their elongated shape and slightly tapered end, giving them a recognizable and exotic appearance in the chili community.

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes or ground Yellow Ghost peppers 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 citrusy floral flavor of the Yellow Ghost without the overwhelming heat.
