20 grams (.70 Ounce) Smoked Ghost Chili Pepper Powder (Bhut Jolokia) Review

20 grams (.70 Ounce) Smoked Ghost Chili Pepper Powder (Bhut Jolokia) Feature

• You get 20 grams Smoked Dried Chili Pepper Powder
• The Bhut Jolokia or as it is commonly referred to as Ghost Chile, named for its ghostly bite, is the hottest chile pepper in the world.
• It has been measured at up to 1,041,427 Scoville units.
• Great smokey flavor and incredible heat

In 2000, scientists at India's Defense Research Laboratory (DRL) reported a rating of 855,000 units on the Scoville scale and in 2004 an Indian company obtained a rating of 1,041,427 units through HPLC analysis. This makes it almost twice as hot as the Red Savina pepper, Guinness World Record holder at that time. For comparison, Tabasco red pepper sauce rates at 2,500-5,000, and pure capsaicin (the chemical responsible for the pungency of pepper plants) rates at 15,000,000-16,000,000 Scoville units.
