Ghost Pepper Bhut Jolokia Assam India: Hailing from Assam this chili once held the Guinness World Record for hottest pepper. With over one million Scoville units the ghost pepper delivers an immediate and intense辣 assault that can last for hours. Locals use it in chutneys pickles and smoked powders adding just a sliver for extreme辣. It’s so hot that handlers wear gloves. Traditionally it was even used as a weapon to deter elephants. Consuming it raw is a daredevil act. The辣 starts sweet then rapidly escalates to unbearable levels often causing sweating nausea and dizziness. Yet in Assamese cuisine it’s a prized ingredient symbolizing strength and resilience. The ghost pepper remains one of the world’s most feared and respected辣 foods.
