Dorset Naga Powder is obtained by grinding this Naga Morich selection developed in England by Michael and Joy Michaud, awarded the world's hottest chili title in 2006.
source plant, of the species Capsicum chinense, is bushy and sturdy, with conical fruits 3-4 cm long that turn from green to red passing through orange.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown early, in February, in a seedbed, given this variety's typically late ripening, and harvested at full red maturity.
slow drying preserves the fruits' floral aroma, followed by fine grinding that yields a spicy, long-lasting powder.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture, and dosed with extreme caution: a few grams are enough to make an entire dish spicy.
when handling it, gloves and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways even from a distance.
Dorset Naga Powder has an extreme heat level (up to 900,000 SHU) with a delicate aroma despite the heat: ideal in small doses for sauces, curries and intense marinades.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, responsible for its lingering heat, along with good amounts of vitamin A and antioxidants.
