The Bhut Jolokia, or Ghost Pepper, is the fiery, less sweet original that spawned the Chocolate Ghost Pepper (bhut means ghost or supernatural creature). Native to India, the Ghost Pepper is responsible for some of the most brain-searing, tongue-sizzling curries and chutneys in the entire world. The hottest peppers in the world are the Komodo Dragon Chili Pepper, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper, Naga Viper pepper, Infinity Chilli, Naga Morich, the Bhut jolokia (the ghost pepper), and the Spanish Naga Chili, sitting between 855,000 and 2.4M on the Scoville heat units scale. At 2.48 million Scoville heat units, it easily eclipsed the Carolina Reaper to gain the title of world's hottest pepper. https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-chili-pepper-hottest-world/dp/B002OMV09W The list of the hottest peppers in the world is growing all the time.
