The super hot pepper that started it all. Once known as the hottest pepper in the world as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records holding the title from 2009 until 2011. It is the first hot pepper to break the 1 million scoville mark.
Bhut Jolokia pods are unique among peppers, with their characteristic shape, and very thin skin. However, the red fruit variety has two different fruit types, the rough, dented fruit and the smooth fruit. I am offering the smooth variety which had higher yields on compact plants with sturdy branches.
Sold in a 2.62" wide x 3.5" deep pot.
