Bhut Jolokia Chocolate Powder is obtained by grinding this rare dark variant of the famous Indian Ghost Pepper, introduced in 2008 and also native to the Assam region.
source plant, of the species Capsicum chinense, produces elongated, pointed fruits that turn from light green to an uneven, intense brown as they ripen.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown early, in January-February, in a heated seedbed, given the slow ripening that can take up to four months.
slow drying preserves the fruity, tropical notes with hints of banana and pineapple, followed by fine grinding that yields an even, dark 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, safety goggles and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways even from a distance.
Bhut Jolokia Chocolate Powder has an extreme heat level (about 1,000,000 SHU) that lingers for a long time, up to 20 minutes: perfect for Indian dishes, meat and barbecue sauces.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, with stimulating effects on metabolism and circulation, along with good amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C and antioxidants.
