Bhut Jolokia or Ghost Chilis~Worlds Hottest Pepper

Bhut Jolokia peppers or ghost peppers

so named for its ghostly bite, is the hottest chile pepper in the world. Also known as the Naga Jolokia and Bih Jolokia, or poison chile pepper, it has been measured at 855,000 Scoville units up to 1,041,427 units by an Indian export company. The Bhut Jolokia is twice as hot as the Red Savina (350,000-577,000 Scoville units) and is similar looking to the Dorset Naga. When ripe, the ghost chiles are 60 mm to 85 mm long and up to 30 mm wide. They have an orange or red color. They are very similar looking to Habanero peppers, but they have a rugged skin

Ghost Chiles are very, very, very hot. Use them sparingly, add a little to fresh salsa, sauces, chili and anything else you want to start a 12 alarm fire with.

These are a very popular seller for us...everyone loves them.

Visit our website to purchase them

Things R A Changin'

Hello and Happy Holidays! I haven't blogged in a long time because we have been so busy with our website, Ebay and getting ready for Christmas. My husband, Chad, is in the process of making some great changes to that website including lowering our prices and not necessarily carrying the organic spices anymore. We found there wasn't a great deal of interest in them probably due to the economy. To use organic spices then you would be buying all organic foods which are very expensive. We will continue to carry our great selection of Ethnic Spice Blends, Barbecue Rubs, Dried Mushrooms, Peppercorns, and more delicious single spices. We have been PowerSellers on Ebay for several years selling our spices and CD's. Click here to see our Ebay listings.


If you would like to order spices please do so from our website where the fees are much less or you can email us at savvygourmetshop@gmail.com with your order or to ask any questions. We not only accept PayPal (all major credit cards and e-checks) but also money orders and personal checks. click here to see our website www.savvygourmetshop.com.

Hope you have a great 2009!!
